The listing is accurate; nevertheless we were disappointed with our stay. Our host was welcoming and friendly and helpful when we were checking in after a long drive. It was unseasonably cold, but the heating was insufficient even after we complained. I got stuck with a bunk bed and it was small and uncomfortable though the room is large and good for large groups. When asked for travel recommendations, he seems to like to impose his ideas and not listen to what we wanted to see.

Some positives: this was an unusual stay for an Italian holiday. The location is good for being in touch with nature or visiting the Temple Valley and the Turkish steps (both not to be missed). Parking was ample and the hotel was not hard to find. The home-cooked meal is wonderful, but marred by the cook's chain-smoking the entire meal. Beautiful gardens, well maintained.
