Hello potential renters! Well where do we start? The beginning of our stay was just as memorable as the day we left. Giacomo is the man who owns the home and was such a delight throughout our stay. Before we arrived our family who lives in Italy got in touch with him and were able to stock the house with food upon our arrival. The day we arrived he was there, informed us it was the home he grew up in, showed us all the small details we needed to know and some helpful tips (closest beach, supermarkets, etc). What a great and yet personable touch that was!
2 of the rooms had their own bathrooms with air conditioner units. They all worked very well, so no hot nights! The bedding was a bit dated, but the mattresses and pillows were brand new and very comfortable. Each room had great space for closets so all of your garments could be safely hung up.
The living space was perfectly decorated and equipped to entertain. This huge common room did not have air conditioning, but the bedrooms did- so if you need to cool down, that is the place! Some of the doors going into the garden or the pool did not have screens, so be sure to close them up in the evening. Bug spray and candles are highly suggested!
The kitchen was small, but did everything you would need! 2 average sized refrigerators and enough pots and pans to cook for a small army! There is no microwave, but we did not seem to need one.
Washer was very efficient, but you will need to buy your own supplies ;]
Now, let's go outside. The pool was not used as much as we would have wanted since we were traveling each day. BUT, the pool was crystal clear and so beautiful. Giacomo came to the house every once and a while to clean the pool and maintain the property since the house did sit on a big piece of land. There are some cats that guard the home as well as their kittens, but they were very friendly to us all. There was a huge table outside as well as about 15 extra chairs. Did I mention the BBQ and the rooftop? Both great amenities!
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
The house was located about 5 minutes from a few of the best supermarkets around, center of town as well as some great meat/cheese shops. The beach was also 10 minuets away!
My family and I were completely blown away with the overwhelming amount of hospitality and we will all be back very soon! Grazie Mille!!!!
