Our stay at Scopello farm house was a mixed experience, we selected this house because it had lots of bedrooms and Annicka had glowing reviews. We are glad we picked this house as we had a fabulous time in the picturesque village of Scopello, it has a lot going on for a small village with fantastic restaurants and lovely people. We also really enjoyed the beach just down from the house.
The only reason it doesn’t have a 5 star rating from us was because the housekeeping was unfortunately a let down, which has nothing to do with the house itself or Annicka who was super helpful and lovely on the phone. However the amenities in the house were sadly not up to scratch with a number of lights, the extractor fan and the air conditioning unit in the main living room all not working, additionally a number of the towels we were provided had big holes in them like they’d been chewed by a dog. We also had an issue with Gardeners turning up unannounced twice in the week. Unfortunately the housekeeper which welcomed us to begin with was rather rude, she didn’t make up one of the bedrooms because we weren’t at full capacity and didn’t seem to accept that we didn’t want to share double beds if we didn’t have to, she’d also left food in the fridge which she told us not to touch which was a bit bizarre. Also at the check out she had a go at us accusing us of not putting the recycling out for collection - which we had done, but we’d just accumulated more plastic since the day that bin was collected (at the start of the week). She also was walking through the house smoking which we considered unacceptable as it says in the house rules that there was no smoking inside the house and a number of us have asthma so didn’t appreciate her smoking while talking to us inside.
Overall a lovely house and beautiful location, just a shame about the housekeeping.
