Just one big cold shower... literally. And bring your own toilet paper.
We had absolutely no hot water during our scheduled 3 night stay.
I informed Antonio, our caretaker as soon as we realized the problem, and he texted back instructions to flip a particular switch to start the hot water heating process. Apparently, it is heated by solar and since we had only rain, we had no hot water- and when asked why he had not anticipated, and turned on the hot water well in advance, knowing we had no sun, Antonio admitted he forgot about it. So we were pretty miserable without any showers, and after 2 days it had still not heated up. Antonio finally came out to check himself and determined that it was broken and requiring a plumber, to which, by this time we had decided to leave. I informed the property manager and asked for a full refund, but instead we were given one night free only. We were, and still are, very upset.
Even without the hot water issue, this house is not a pleasant experience-- except for the pool area, which is lovely- although we did not get to use it due to the weather.
The beds are very old and rock hard (italian beds generally are pretty firm, but these are just old and hard with bad springs.) We slept in the one bedroom in the main house, to which we had to pile bedspreads onto the mattress and then put the sheets over in order to sleep with any comfort. (The sheets are bagged up laying on each bed and guests are expected to make them up) Our daughter and her husband stayed in one of the bedrooms in the outside building and while it was an interesting old stone space, it absolutely stunk of mildew and very strongly of cat urine.
The kitchen was big and fairly well stocked although there was no coffee maker. The shower in the bathroom in the main house had clearly not been properly cleaned in ages with the tile very moldy and dirty... it was probably a blessing that we didn't use the showers (due to no hot water!).
The main space is huge with a huge dining table and not much else except for a sofa sitting in the middle of the space like an island.
One big aggravation (almost as bad as not hot water) was that when we arrived, we discovered that there was not one square of toilet paper in the entire house. Which was a pretty difficult situation considering we arrived on a sunday afternoon when every store in town is closed until Monday. As well, there was not one paper towel, not one kitchen tea towel, no kitchen dish soap, nothing. All in all, pretty unwelcoming.
So, if you are looking for a great pool in summer this one has it- but not much else.
We were really disappointed in the house- it was just so uncomfortable, but even more disappointment in a property management company with no integrity. The hot water issue was not our fault, but made to be our problem.
