We stayed over two weeks at Casale Marchesi with or two girls of 1 and 3 and absolutely loved it. The house is really neat, not huge but you have everything you need and more than enough space. Really, the outdoors is where it is. There are two patios. One is huge with shade curtains and a BBQ which you can use with real wood if wanted (really nice). Shades and olive trees provide nice shade. For those who love the sun you can get in it, but it's really easy to stay in the shade also which nice, also, a carport for the car which is definitely a plus in this region. The pool great for cooling off and our kids loved the little playground and other things about the property. The outside shower is nice for after the pool. It basically is an old olive Grove and very big. There is a train that comes by out back but it's really slow, and not noisy, and almost no passengers. As an adult you barely notice it, our kids were excited to see a train now and again (doesn't come very often). Close by there are a lot of nice beaches, small towns to visit and since bigger ones if you care to drive a bit further. Really a perfect house if you plan to spend some time there, enjoy the climate, outdoors, and have your kids run around a huge garden. Maria was very quick to respond to any questions and see to any needs (we communicated via WhatsApp with Paolo as he masters the English language). Great place, would recommend to anyone who loves a house with a pool and lots of places to sun or chill in the shade.
