We spent five days a Alessandro's place. Its a simple, peaceful home in the hills. We really enjoyed the views and ability to eat outside. The fireplace (and firewood Alessandro provided) were wonderful. Read through everyone's comments, it is a bit difficult to find at first, but Alessandro sent us a pin drop and came out to meet us which helped immensely. We had no problem with hot tub - you just need to let him know in the morning to heat it up (it takes a bit). Alessandro lives right next door, and was really helpful and accommodating: he answered all out questions (and tolerated my poor Italian :-) -- his English is excellent) and gave good ideas for our location. This house is a bit out of the city as described -- we loved it, as we would go to the grocery store after a day of exploring and make a fresh, simple dinner. If you want to be out of the bustle and in a beautiful location, this is the place. Its a simple but well appointed home. The views in the early morning and evening were worth every penny. I recommend a visit to the monastery you can see in the nearby hills.
