This is an honest and accurate listing - Fabrizio rightly manages your expectations - and the effort is a small price to pay for beauty - so I give it five stars. I think you know if you like this sort of experience - and it turns out we do. We booked because we wanted the peace, the extraordinary beauty of this house and its views - and the fitness challenge with the step climbing - and we were absolutely delighted and enchanted by both the house and the island. Unforgettable. Be prepared for sandflies, and I would hope next time, the mules will have delivered some newer deckchairs and crockery (but it is all vintage!). We loved cooking the incredible veg and produce bought in the local shops, and choosing which spot to eat it on, but don’t expect the calor gas oven to get super hot. It is a simpler way of life and a privilege to be there. Michaela greeted us and was fantastic at introducing us to the experience. I think about it often. Heartfelt thanks to Fabrizio and Michaela
