Our previous host canceled on us at short notice, and so we were very grateful to find Vittorio‘s place! We were there in May 2022.
It had a (small) clean swimming pool which was very important to us to cool down and relax. The garden area is large and it runs directly into an olive grove and so the feeling is of a very large estate, with a wonderful view to the north across open countryside. From the pool and from the external lounges barbecue and relaxation spaces there is this beautiful view no sound of roads or traffic.
While we were there everything was in full bloom and lots of insects and birds were enjoying the space as well as us.
Despite only being a one bedroom facility it has a very large living dining kitchen space and this is very well equipped for self catering. Vittorio also provided some welcome gifts of wine and other things.
The bed is king size and the room is spacious. The windows are designed to be able to be open but with mosquito mesh behind so they could be left open at night and keep the house cool.
Since one spends all his time outside this facility is excellent. There is two large dining tables under cover and an external kitchen area as well as a really good barbecue next to the pool with lots of space around it including lounges and other external chairs. Much of this is in shade and with climbing plants around.
One of the things I really thought was excellent is that one can park securely inside the plot under a shaded plant canopy and once one has locked the gate behind the entire route from car to the house and then on to the pool and barbecue area is beautifully tiled with not a single cracked, uneven or loose tile. There’s no gravel or dangerous surface to negotiate.
Put the greatest bonus of all is Vittorio himself! He is a wonderful host , willing to go to some lengths to make sure everything is sorted. He recommended a number of really excellent places and activities, and even arranged for us the visit to the local olive oil mill which was a highlight for us. (Incredibly good value for money.)
We highly recommend this facility and it supposed to other people, but would urge you to think very carefully about going there during the summer months when it is incredibly hot. This is a venue in my opinion for May or September October
