Chiara's place was booked in 2020 for our honeymoon that year, due to COVID we had to postpone for 2021. In 2021, Italy had quarantine for UK arrivals and we had to postpone again for 2022...
2 postponements and 2 years later, this place was worth the wait! It is a beautiful house, on a cliff overlooking the blue Med with immaculate gardens with verdant trees, gorgeous sunsets and just a very short drive from Bovo Marina (a great sandy beach with cafes, lidos and restaurants / recommend driving there as there's a very steep incline from the beach to the house / also, highly recommend "locanda al mare perbellini" on the beach for great, Michellin standards food!).
The house was very practical, with loads of storage space, air conditions in every room (however, the living room/kitchen air con was not great at cooling down the space). Kitchen was fully functional and easy to use each night as we mainly cooked our meals in the house to take in as much of the great views and the relaxing outdoor space as possible. Montallegro nearby has a couple of supermarkets and a bakery so it's easy to get all your essentials (and more) within a 10min drive.
We loved everything, we would love to be back soon!
A couple of notes: avoid using the side dirt road to reach the house as it's not in a great condition and you will struggle with a small car (we struggled with a big 4x4 car) instead park on the right, down the olive trees and walk down to the house. Also, some nets in all main windows would have benefited the house as it currently lacks nets and you can't really take advantage of a the breeze (unless you don't mind sharing the house with mosquitos, wasps and other insects).
