Two perfect nights with Michele in his lush Italian countryside home. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with an abundance of lavender, rosemary, thyme, citronella - old time water well (not likely functional) and fire-burning outdoor oven and barbecue - every angle was picturesque.
We stayed in the Gelsomino room I believe, which was equipped with a small fridge, modern kitchenette with everything you need to cook the basics including olive oil and salt, sparkling clean new bathroom, and gorgeous private terrace. So comfortable!
He also had water and yogurts in the fridge for us, gave us a map and recommendations for food and activities, and made us coffee. We would love to stay again!
Some things to know: there are a few friendly cats who live on the property, our 1 year old daughter absolutely loved the “maw maw.” Also, the room was lovely in late September but I don’t remember seeing A/C so if you run hot and the breeze from the terrace won’t do, it’s worth keeping in mind.
