Carmela's home was located in a very peaceful and beautiful setting. The drive there (we were coming from Rome) was lovely. Winding road along the coast. The room was basic but clean; it had a small fridge, table and chairs, coffee and espresso maker, bed and a sofa. Carmela kindly provided with some biscotti and bottled water upon our arrival. The view from outside is quite lovely and there is a small patio with two lounge chairs available. We ate in town once and it was very reasonably priced.

We would have only two minor complaints. We were at Carmela's in March and the room was a little chilly. The room does have a heater but it doesn't seem to be able to heat the room completely. However, there were lots of blankets - so we were not cold in the bed - it was just a little chilly going to the bathroom! Perhaps if the heater had been turned on in advance it might have helped.

Our other minor complaint is that the directions to her house were poor making it difficult to find. Our suggestion would be to ask, by email in advance, for detailed directions upon arrival in town - ask for landmarks. That said, however, Carmela was available by phone and her daughter came and met us and led us to the house (and we arrived late - about 10 p.m.). Carmela does not speak much English, but we were able to communicate somewhat with the daughter who found us quite easily. Turns out we were not very far from the house!

Those two complaints are minor and we would highly recommend Carmela's house!
