I feel sorry to leave such a review against the positive feedback from the other guests. Still, we have been really disappointed with our stay.
The house has good potential - it is located in a beautiful place surrounded by mountains with convenient access to the highway. Many authentic details have been preserved in the house.
BUT in front of the house is a huge cow farm and under our windows was the dung heap, which was continuously filled with a conveyer belt. Of course, we must know where the meat and milk come from, but we don't need it so close, do not need this strong smell, don't need to brush off the flies, and don't need to listen to the crowd of crying cows.
Riccardo keeps pigs under the restaurant, which looking, of course, is not very clean and smells like hell. A lot of old personal things are laid out near the house. It should be written that you stay in the place side by side with a huge cow farm - so you can decide whether you like it or not. We definitely don't!
Bed linen is old, and towels are grey.
All this did not seem attractive or authentic to us - it looked sloppy.
The second disappointment was the dinner: sitting inside a restaurant (outside have been too many mosquitos, according to the owner) which is used as the owner's home office too, was not really a pleasure. The dinner he served was poor: appetizers from the glass, meat half cold (suggest he warmed it up in the microwave), and dry bread with cheap red wine. This "wonderful "dinner bill was 80 Euros - the pure rip-off. We have never eaten so bad in Italy before!
After seeing all this, we should leave immediately, but we have been super tired after a long trip and did not have the strength to look for a new place to rest.
We couldn't sleep and left the place at 5 am.
Never ever again!
