We stayed in the villa for 8 nights in October, a family of 6 people between the ages of 26 and 83. We all thought it was absolutely beautiful and a wonderful, relaxing experience where we could enjoy our individual privacy in the large guest rooms and be together in the communal spaces. The villa has been tastefully restored – a beautiful blend of the old and the new – and one never tires of the surrounding landscape with fields, olive trees and dry stone hedges – and the view to the Mediterranean Sea – or the sound of birdsong in the garden. Several evenings we would gather on the upstair terrace to see the sun set over Africa and the beautiful colors and cloud formations on the sky. The court yards, the gardens, the pool area – frankly, it's a bit magical! While there, we experienced all weather types – heavy rain storms, thunder and lightning, blue skies with a warm sun and a light breeze. Ignazio was available via the airbnb chat and very helpful, just as Mario, the caretaker on the property, helped us with practical issues, provided us with suggestions and directions – and was available in a kind and respectful way.
