The house was perfect for us - two couples with a toddler and a baby. A traditional stone house, all on one level with a central living room with working fireplace. A great house if you have kids as it has so many bedrooms / bathrooms. The pool is set in a peaceful garden surrounded by lemon and olive trees and rosemary bushes. Spacious veranda with views across to the Cavagrande nature reserve. Very quiet, great location with Noto 15 mins drive and many beautiful beaches within 30 mins drive. Francesca was exceptionally helpful, always responding quickly with any questions. We asked Francesca's neighbour / housekeeper to cook some food for us on our arrival and she made beautiful traditional dishes as well as stocking the fridge with groceries. Heating works well if you are here in the off-season. Pool is not heated. We spent our time cooking and eating on the terrace, playing cards, reading by the fire, swimming and taking trips to different beaches. Cavagrande and Calamosche are spectacular and this house is on the doorstep to both. Francesca has some great recommendations for restaurants, bars and beaches within an hour's drive. Our stay was everything we hoped it would be. Thanks for having us, we look forward to coming again soon.
