The location of this rental is great if you love hiking, swimming, and eating. Perfectly located between a spectacular park in Isidoro and Porto Cesareo, which has a ton of great restaurants and night life. The property itself is a unique experience.
Make sure to give the host an exact arrival time and contact him before actually stepping foot in the property. We spoke with Ugo on the phone prior to arriving but still there was miscommunication with how he wanted checkin to work. Because we received very documented entry information we were under the impression we could enter the front gate, park the car and enter the unit. By doing so, this caused a very uncomfortable introduction that was unnecessarily aggressive and made our time at this rental uncomfortable.
The rental is on their home’s property and they live in very close proximity. If you’re looking for something private this may not be for you.
Regarding the unit itself, the internet did not work. There were no coffee pods as described in the house manual, but there is a great spot not far called the Isy Bar that has excellent coffee and pastries.
Something worth noting is that this rental has several surveillance cameras that are not just for monitoring the front entry gate. We took issue with one remote controlled camera that was mounted above our rental. At times this camera was pointed towards the front gate - but we witnessed it monitoring us as we sat at a table in front of the property as well as follow us as we moved around both during the day and night. It made us feel uncomfortable that we were being watched knowing that the movement of the camera was not motion activated.
