Firstly the Positives
++ Lovely location in Trappeto overlooking the sea. You need to have a car as its very secluded.
++ There is free parking in a secured driveway.
++ Teresa is a sweet host and wants to do what she can to make sure you are comfortable. She doesn’t speak English but with the help of google translate we understood each other quite well.
The villa is very quaint and decorated in vintage Italian style. Which is another way of saying to us it looks old fashioned. The furniture, sofas and beds are also aged. However don’t let that put you off but be aware.
The negatives.
— The one big criticism is the electrics. Being situated quite remotely, we were not aware that the villa cannot cope with more than 2 heaters on at once without tripping. The oven will also trip the electrics. As will the small bathroom heater.
This will turn off everything including the broadband.
This happened constantly throughout our 3 night stay in early April. Temperature at night was around 7-8 deg C And often times our kids, 5 and 2 were quite cold and slept in extra layers.
During our last day at one point the electrics tripped whilst we were out causing the alarm system to trigger. We returned late in the evening to see the alarm sounding. Obviously concerned we ended up calling the police who accompanied us in. Thankfully all was ok.
In summary, you will love the location, the privacy and the charming garden area.
However there are some basics that from our point of view let it down. You will see many 5 star reviews which goes to show that not everyone felt the same way as us. But it’s only fair to be balanced on air BnB as it helps the hosts and future guests.
