We had a lovely week staying at Villa Vecchia Pineta. The garden and pool area is just gorgeous, it’s been beautifully created and is well maintained. The pool is wonderful too and it was perfect for our children.
We loved using the outdoor showers and loo throughout our stay here.
The inside of the house is adequate, there is air conditioning in every room which is fantastic. We found the beds and pillows to be very hard so we found that it wasn’t that comfortable to sleep.
We ate out every evening as SAN Cataldo has lots of wonderful restaurants which serve the most delicious foods and everything is within walking distance. Our favourite restaurant was left out of the villa onto the main road then left again. It’s on a corner opposite the beach. You must go there. The seafood pastas here are phenomenal as with their fresh fish dishes.
A highlight, especially for the children was the wonderful ice creamery in the town which had a huge array of delicious ice creams, pistachio being a particular favourite. It was our go to place after dinner every night, and only a 5 minute walk!
We loved the lazy, chilled, non pretentious feel of this town. The beach was really lovely, with lots of sun beds and umbrellas which were not expensive to rent. We always went for the ones which had a hammock which our children loved. And the restaurant attached to this place was pretty good.
We believe that the villa could benefit with a BBQ as the outdoor area is so stunning one would rather be outside than inside.
Just a note to point out that Pool/ beach towels are not provided, there is no wifi and there are lots of mozzies here so take spray.
The host left us some delicious local olives and water upon our arrival which was a lovely touch.
