Marco’s place was really great for a quiet escape from the city! We got a lot of use out of his beautiful little garden. His kitchen is well equipped with oil, pots/pans, cutlery, etc. And a dishwasher so we made use of that to have dinner at home for a couple of nights. I would recommend doing a bit of a grocery shop because a lot of the stores in the area close for siestas/on weekends, so we ended up having to drive around a bit to get the things we needed outside of regular hours. (We had to borrow a bottle of white wine from a very lovely, generous neighbour!) If you do end up at a grocery store, I would also suggest picking up some mosquito coils and bug spray. Marco, very thoughtfully, has put out a citronella candle but we found we still got bitten loads (about 30 bites each!) until we had a three pronged attack against them!
All in all, I would recommend marco’s place because he was so helpful, it has stunning views, is in a quieter location, and the people around are so lovely!
