We were disappointed. The apartment is the former servants quarters at the back of the villa without much view. Even though the weather was dry and in the high 30's (C), the house smelled strongly of mildew. The 2 attic bedrooms were like an oven and unusable. Basic necessities were missing and the owners were not home to help us out. Trying to connect with Alex to make things right was frustrating and he was slow to respond. When he did, he was long on excuses and short on solutions. There were a lot of biting bugs: mosquitos and other insects whose bites are just now healing 10 days after our stay. It was not a relaxing, pleasant stay in the Italian countryside like we had hoped.
