As everyone points out, the highlight of Massimo’s house are Massimo’s personal enthusiasm, the outside kitchen, surrounding orchard and vegetable garden. It’s great to be able to cook and dine outside, and amazing to walk the orchard and pick your own cactus fruit, figs, limes and pomegranates. The house and amenities are quite rustic but surrounded with a lot of open space which is perfect for lounging, relaxing and sunbathing. There are also always a few friendly cats around for entertainment.

The house is located in between three towns, which makes it a good base, but note that it is in a residential area down an auxiliary/rough road. You will hear some traffic noise from the nearby highway and you need a car to get around as there are no amenities in the immediate vicinity. We had to leave a day early, but were denied a refund/adjustment request, surprising but the owner's right. Overall, Massimo recommended.
