The house is just amazing and everything is the way you see it on the pictures or even better. Cristina and Giovanni are perfect hosts with help and they brought us some homemade pasta sauce and bread, which was fantastic. The sea is extremely close (just stepping across one dune) and it is very quiet (there is another house to rent next to it, so probably depends on the neighbours). Some things to be aware of: Donnalucata is small and the centre is a 20 minutes walk on the beach. There is no infrastructure really close to the house, so a car is helpful. There is parking available next to the house, the drive there is quite small. I guess a SUV would not fit. Our Twingo worked perfectly. Also, the house is individually built with many beautiful ideas and creativity. But it is small inside, everything you need, but small bath room for example. You will spend 90% of your time outside anyways, for example on the rooftop terrace or the outside kitchen. When travelling with kids (we had our 3 year old with us), they definitely need some attention playing on the upper floor, as stairs are steep and not everything can be closed or secured, but the kids will also love it.
