Location of the place is very easy to find and also very close to tourist attractions. Most of the places we wanted to visit were only one hour away.
We were greeted by the Carlo’s wife. She was very courteous and showed us around. She also offered us some oranges from one of the trees, which we forgot to taste!!
The place is furnished as shown in the photos. All the furniture is antique. Some of it needs some love, and some needs replacing.
The cupboards of the big kitchen needs some airing every now and then since they have a moldy smell and also found some moldy pots. The kitchen needa some more pots and pans and also utensils. I loved that they have a variety and kitchenware and we could choose our table setting. The big kitchen is in a separate building so maybe in winter it’s not that ideal to use. The main building has a very small kitchen which is one could use. The place overall could use some better lighting.
One issue we had is that the light kept going off. Thank god my husband found the mains switch. Perhaps the owner can advice the people staying there on arrival so that they know how to deal with it. Also, this is not ideal in winter because you cannot use the AC, heaters, cooker or hairdryer together. When the lights go off the place becomes really spooky, so maybe the owner can invest in an emergency light too.
When we were there, we also had water coming in from the roof. The owner assured us that the place was safe. Obviously not entirely his fault since one cannot predict the weather.
Overall, we enjoyed the place. In summer I am sure it is more enjoyable. Our dogs were also well recieved and had a lot of fun running around in the extensive garden.
