The villa is new, clean and has almost everything you need, plus a beautiful mountain view and a nice little pool. However, it’s not somewhere we’d consider coming back to. It has only one bathroom/toilet, so if you’re occupying all the rooms, this is inconvenient.
The location is quite out of the way; it’s a short drive to the first beach, which is extremely busy and you need to rent umbrellas at a cost of €15-20 for the day. You will 100% need to have a car if you decide to stay in this area. We were here for 5 days at the end of August, which is the probably the worst time to visit because all beaches are very busy and it’s impossible to park near smaller local beaches for snorkelling etc, which can be very stressful & frustrating. Gianluca himself seemed rather disengaged. He didn’t respond to any of our messages until the day we arrived and that was after a lot of chasing. This left us feeling quite unsettled. He didn’t go out of his way to help us with the area, attractions and restaurants, which is not like most hosts in ITALY, who normally do everything to make you feel comfortable and enjoy their area.
I imagine a better time to visit would be at the beginning of September when it’s quieter.
So based on an overall experience of the place, host and area, we’ve given 3⭐️
