Our "host" Amedeo was excellent while booking and upon arrival in regards to directions etc. It made it easy on us because he was great at getting right back to us to curb any anxieties we had about the reservation or making our way to the villa. We were greeted by Francesca, his mom. She did not speak great English but we didnt have any issues comunicating in regards to the house. The house was as you can see from the photos beautiful as far as location and views. The house was clean but old and had no temperature control. The house smelled a bit like mold and mildew. This bothered my aunts asthma. We immediately opened the many windows to air things out. Thinking this was an easy solution to the problem was where we went wrong. The property was infested with centipedes. All of whom went inside when given the chance. Being in a big house in the mountains with tons of hundred legged creatures wasnt the impression i got from those gorgeous chase lounge chairs. No wine glasses. No wine opener. Not ideal for wine country. Luckily the swiss army knife my husband had and a couple water glasses saved the day. The tv did not work at all. Not an issue for us but some would care. Clearly someone lives there regularly because it was overly stocked with food and personal items. Choosing between air and bugs isnt my idea of a relaxing vacation. Like i said the booking was seemless but i wouldnt return because of the bugs.
