Wonderful stay in Stefano’s villa! He is so welcoming and kind. The dog Luna was so sweet and made my kids feel at home and not miss our puppy so much. The outdoor space is expansive and lovely. The pool is perfect and we dined alfresco as much as possible. The kitchen has all modern amenities and the bathroom is large with rain shower. The beds were very comfortable for us(I think they are memory foam) which is hard to find in Europe sometimes. We asked for private chef to come make pizza in the pizza oven. Stefano arranged all of this was the highlight of our stay. The air conditioning was strong in every room and the villa was more spacious then I imagined. My children loved the swing set(even though they are “too old” for those back home). It felt like we stepped back in time. A much simpler and slower lifestyle that just made everything perfect. Wifi was an issue that Stefano tried to resolve as quickly as possible. But it’s the countryside and it just didn’t happen. We made due, but it was hard to map out and plan our next day when we expected internet. Nevertheless, we spent more time relaxing and engaging with each other. Stefano was also great recommending his favorite restaurants, gelataria etc which meant we had amazing meals the entire time. He uses WhatsApp and a translator so we had no issues communicating. We will come back someday!
FYI-we did not see any cats on the property to my kids disappointment. I read reviews that mentioned them so thought I would share. Only the dog Luna who does her own thing on the property and doesn’t bother you unless you want her attention.
