Ignazio is a warm and friendly host. He went to great lengths to make us feel welcome without intruding on the holiday. We arrived at the cottage to find a few basic supplies, such as eggs, milk and a lovely cake that Ignazio’s mum had made for us. The location itself is incredibly peaceful and scenic, whilst a little isolated from local amenities. A bike or a car are definitely needed to get around the local area. The cottage itself was a little smaller than expected and a tad basic. The bed was very hard and pretty uncomfortable, plus we experienced a few issues with the toilet leaking. But to his credit, Ignazio was on hand to rectify the issue when we needed assistance. There was only a gas hob to cook on which limited food options somewhat. The walls at the property are a bit thin so we could hear the family in the adjacent cottage next door most of the time. This resulted in a lot of early morning wake ups due to their daughter crying or the toilet being flushed a lot. The swimming pool and the surrounding grounds are stunning though and there are plenty of seating areas on the property with interesting views. Whilst the cottage itself wasn’t quite what we expected, or worth the money we paid, the setting and the pool were lovely. And Ignazio is a very kind and supportive host.
