Malcolm and Vittoria were very welcoming and gracious hosts. They gave us a thorough rundown of the house and its facilities when we arrived. Vittoria had made lovely pastizzi for us, and they had even stocked beer in the fridge, which was very welcome after a long day of travelling. Throughout our stay, Malcolm was available via phone and email, and did his best to accommodate our enquiries and needs. The house is old, but in good shape, and the hosts keep it neat and clean. Some wear and tear is visible, but for us, this simply added to the charm of the house and even gave it a feeling of being a home away from home. The house was the perfect size for our group; very spacious and the bedrooms were even larger than they seemed in the pictures. In addition, the beds were very comfortable and provided good night’s sleep after long days of activities. The house is a bit dark, due to windows being in separate sections of each room, but this serves to keep the house cool even during the hottest hours of the day. For those warm summer nights, there are air-con units in all but one bedroom, all of which functions very well. In the bedroom without air-con, there were several electric fans, but as there were enough beds for us in the other bedrooms, we opted not to use this room. The WiFi coverage was varying throughout the house, with one router on the top floor (only a few of us managed to connect to that one), and another on ground level, which worked perfectly and had good reception in the kitchen. As we were on a relax-and-chill holiday, we weren’t that fussed about the WiFi, but it might be worth noting for internet addicts. There are three bathrooms in the house, which worked out perfectly for our group of nine, but it might need more strategic bathroom use planning for larger groups. The water pressure is good in all three showers; however, the second-floor bathroom offers a handheld shower/bathtub solution (minor nuisance). Shower towels, hand towels and even beach towels were provided, and the washing machine, albeit a bit old, works well. When drying towels, I recommend leaving them to dry outside during the day, as the humidity overnight leaves the towels still wet in the morning. The roof top terrace is perfect for evening time, both for a late game of cards and for enjoying some chilled wine. We enjoyed a few late dinners up there, and when the fireworks get going in the evening, it offers a stunning view. The small balcony in the second-floor bedroom was perfect for reading and enjoying a cuppa in the morning before the heat sets in. We mostly used the backyard dining on ground level for towel drying and relaxing in the morning, but it seems perfect for breakfast, even for larger groups. The house has a central location, with easy access to the...
