Biagio is a friendly, fantastic host and detail-oriented. He explained everything very thoroughly at check-in and checked in through messaging a few times to make sure we were okay or ask if we needed anything.
The property is nice. By the end of our week-long stay, we called it "The house of 1000 LED's." You really have to get used to all of the different light switches and remotes and which lights they are for and how to find the switches you need.
The kitchen was functional with various pots, pans, utensils, electric kettle, etc. We contributed a bread knife and sharpener. :) We shopped at Lidl in town and cooked (simple things) often. There is a fridge with small freezer to use, oven, & gas range, No microwave.
We slept in the bedroom downstairs. The bed was comfortable. We both used the toilet and shower upstairs where *the walls of the bathroom are **not** made of glass* (!!!) There are blinds to lower in the bathroom downstairs so no one has to watch you poop, but we couldn't get them to move.
WiFi works fantastically, also downstairs with the extender. You just have to use whichever WiFi for the level you are on and it works perfectly.
Plenty of towels.
There is a wonderful terrace with a nice view, and is undoubtedly great in warmer months.
There is a Ring camera (or similar) installed and pointed at the door of the property.
The heater downstairs works well. Upstairs you have the fireplace with pellets. You have to dump pellets into the tray and dump them into the the chute. Biagio had pellets there, but as we were going through about 15 kgs of pellets a day just to stay warm when we were upstairs, we bought our own so the next guests would have some and Biagio wouldn't have to bring more to us or get them started. A 15kg bag can be bought at Bricoman for about 5 Euros. The closer shop "ARD" has them in 10kg bags for the same price.
A few notes: we were there in January, off-season for tourism, obviously, and in 2022 so we are in the middle of Omicron-Corona. There was nothing going on and extremely little to do. Restaurants and Cafes around the property were understandably closed. Some might call this very, very boring. But we were happy to just be somewhere else for a week. To take walks, go on a drive here or there, or just relax (and bang our heads on the stairs every day even though Biagio warned us about that--one of us even had a bloody head). One day we drove, for example, to Marina Di Ragusa. Even though there was also NOTHING going on there, we saw the sea, walked a little, and ate at a seaside restaurant called "Rude," which was okay. In Regusa we also ate at Marilyn Monroe Cafe, which also had nice pizzas and friendly staff.
The one thing I will say is that I am VERY VERY mad at myself for booking the spa part of the property!!!! This was a VERY EXPENSIVE MISTAKE despite a small discount in the first day. I paid for two people for the duration of our stay, but only *I* "used" it twice for five minutes (!!) both times. The problem is that there is no cover on the jacuzzi, so the water takes all day to get warm, and then never goes higher than 35⁰C. You simply can not decide spontaneously to use it. You have to know in the morning that you want to use it in the evening. The only two times I did decide to try it were just too cold for me at the maximum 35⁰. My partner didn't want to use it at all, which is our problem, not Biagio's. If the jacuzzi stayed somewhat warm so that it didn't cool off so quickly and need all day to reheat, and then get to a higher temperature, it might have been okay. But basically, I just threw way 150€ for nothing. Biagio *did* explain that it needed an hour per 1-2 degrees. I wish I had realized that it wouldn't be warmer, though. Oh well. You live, learn, and pass on your experience. :)
All in all it was a fantastic stay in a lovely property with a lovely, romantic atmosphere and fantastic host!! We hope others enjoy their stay there too and wish Biagio and his loved ones all the best for the future.
