Gianluca’s house in Isla is in a fantastic location and has the most amazing views from the main living room and the roof terrace. The house is full of character and interesting photos and paintings of the area.
Gianluca was friendly and communication with him was easy. He was quick to respond regarding maintenance issues when we arrived and quickly came over to fix them.
We stayed for 18 days in January and the weather was exceptionally cold and wet. The thick, characterful stone walls and north facing aspect of the house are more geared to keeping the house cool in summer than warm during unusually cold weather. We did struggle to keep warm in the house despite the two electric fires and blankets thoughtfully provided.
It is worth noting that there are a LOT of stairs in the property. I haven’t felt so fit in ages as I do after spending two weeks trotting up and down them and it was not a problem for us, but might not be a suitable rental for anyone who struggles with stairs.
