The house is very quirky and has many interesting features. It is an ideal house for youngsters wanting space and a 15 minute walk to the beach. It has a good kitchen and the record player is a great feature. The beds are large and comfortable.The sauna was in working order and my parents enjoyed the view of the banana trees every morning.
However, as a family of 2 parents, 2 grandparents and a 1 year old we found the house a bit problematic. The living space downstairs (tiled throughout) is on a different level to the kitchen so presented a sense of risk to a crawling toddler. There are safety gates on the floor above but you gravitate downstairs due to it housing the kitchen.
The bedroom that my parents slept in had steep, uneven steps that meant the room was more suitable for someone young and mobile.
We were disappointed that the jacuzzi and terrace was only accessible via a wooden crate or by standing on a bed and hoisting yourself up.
Unfortunately the jacuzzi had a broken safety cap which meant my hand was caught in the suction so we only used it once. Vittorio was made aware of this and said he would be fixing it. unfortunately, this did not happen during our stay.
One of the coffee tables we were using was rickety and Vittorio said it would be replaced after our visit.
A mixed review as this house has great potential for visiting families but we felt some details were missed out. The general safety of visitors who are under 5 or elderly/less mobile needs more consideration.
