this was such a beautiful place to stay that i extended my time here. views of the orange and lemon trees in the morning, even my dog got up early to watch the gorgeous sunrises from the balcony. you could see flocks of migrating birds over the river. it was fantastic. antonio doesn't speak english, but is quick at communicating over airbnb and his daughter giulia speaks lovely english and was always quick to text back. if you're there in winter like i was their heating units are AMAZING. i was so cozy. the kitchen has everything you need including a giant cutting board. wifi speed was a bit slow if you were using it for work like i was but it was consistent if you just want to browse the internet. bed is actually a cot, not a real bed. it was totally livable but not the comfiest. antonio was kind enough to permit me to bring my dog with me so ask him if you've got a respectful furry friend you'd like to bring even though the place is marked no pets. this place is FANTASTIC for dogs. there is a trail down by the river (2 minute walk away) that has a footbridge to the savoca side as well and you can run/walk/bicycle allll the way to the ocean (about 5km) without any cars or winding mountain roads. the beach at the end is lovely. i think there are more trails around as well, so poke around! it's a quick ride to and from town. there are some lovely beaches sprinkled around, and it's a decent base for the region. parking is easy just out front. was so relaxing and peaceful here, and is such a good value. book it.
