We appreciated the cleanliness of this place, the obvious care its owners put toward it, the large kitchen, the comfortable beds, and the beautiful view of the sea. But, there were some things we didn't like. The signs all over the house posting the house "rules" made me feel not at home, and the apartment is actually two levels with the bedrooms upstairs and kitchen downstairs , which made me feel very far away from my kids (I like being near my kids when on vacation). We stayed in winter and it was very chilly (no heat/AC downstairs), making it difficult to feel relaxed. There were also quite a few things that did not work in the home, such as espresso maker, washing machine, and hot water (not enough hot water for more than one shower and a half... we found that out the hard way). I realize we have different expectations and ways of doing things than Italians, but I would have enjoyed my holiday more if I hadn't had to worry about so many things not working in the home .
