We had an absolutely wonderful visit in a charming old hunting lodge that easily accommodated seven of us. The bedrooms are large with firm beds, there is ample common living space and the grounds and pool are spectacular.
It takes about 30 min to walk to the center of town. There are two routes--one has sidewalks, the other does not. Take the route with the sidewalks. If that seems too far to walk, you can download Apptaxi and have a taxi show up at the gate. In addition, bus 31 and bus 8 go to the center of town and can be picked up just a short walk from the villa. Another option is to download the mobike app and use the bicycles that are just below the gate at the school. Lots of options.
Ginevra was very helpful at connecting us with Ingrid who provided amazing in home Italian cooking for us as well as arranged transfers to and from the airport for us.
Fortuny, Ginevra's mother, welcomed us with drinks and wonderful stories about the area and the villa making us feel right at home. She was regularly available to chat and answer questions.
There were mosquitoes when we were there but the local mosquito repellent is very effective and they didn't bother us when we sprayed.
Ginevra was a superb host and answered all of our questions in a timely way. She was very patient with the many quirky personalities in our group and was professional in the way she conducted all of our business.
We had a wonderful stay and felt at home in the old hunting lodge. Definitely an experience worth having.
