We were greeted at the gate by Angelo who showed us to our room and explained the rules for our stay. We were surprised to find that there was no potable water on site. Drinking water had to be brought up from a tap at the bottom of the hill near the edge of town. We were provided with one full container (approximately 2 gallons) on our arrival, thereafter we had to provide our own water. The only hot water available was in the shower and took several minutes to warm up. The first two days we had a limited supply of hot water and were told that the propane tank had run out. after that problem had been addressed the hot water still seemed to be in limited supply. The outdoor kitchen had no shelter which limited it's use to fair weather. This also presented a problem in that the dishes and cooking utensils had to be rinsed before use because of soot from an overhanging olive tree. We experienced two days of inclement weather which required us to stay indoors where we found the space to be quite limited. We had a bed and one chair to sit on. Lighting was insufficient for night time reading.
