This country house is wonderful! It has a lot of space both inside and outside. My wife and I with two kids stayed upstairs (two bedrooms) and my in-laws stayed downstairs. This was ideal to keep privacy but still be together. When my family and brother in law visited, we were four families and there still was room for everybody. Kids loved to play outside in the garden and we always had our meals in the back veranda. The two large patios upstairs are perfect for sun tanning or stargazing at night (with a glass of limoncello of course). House location is also ideal: it is not in the very crowded area close to the beach, where houses are built very close to each other. It takes just 15-20 minutes to walk to the beach and nightlife, but you get to enjoy the quiet setting of the house. The building stands higher than its surroundings, so great view and very good ventilation is guaranteed (which you need during Italian summers). Beaches are supreme, white sand and crystal clear water. It can get busy during summer, but private beaches (on average $4 fee per person with large umbrella and $4 for each chaise lounge) are always less crowded. And if you like scuba-diving, there is a fantastic diving center almost walking distance from the house (Taras Sub, check it out on the web at tarasub it). The host is very nice and responsive. I had to call her few times the first days to ask few questions about the house and she always helped promptly. We had some electric issue one day in the morning, and by the afternoon she had already called the handyman to fix it (which being south of Italy during weekend, it was incredible). The only drawback of the house is that it is not connected to main water line. Water is pumped from a deep well (which is common for many houses in this rural area) and should be drinkable, but we took our drinking water for safety (or you can fill jugs at a nearby public fountain). The well pump is electric and can jack-up the electric bill quite a bit (electricity is not included and it can be expensive in Italy, we paid about $200 for two weeks with two family living in the house). I wished the host mentioned the well water detail in advance (I got it to know just few days before my trip). She told me that she can get the water analyzed and provide proof of drinkability in case you want to be safe. Overall a fantastic experience, highly recommended!
