Villa Teresa Grande is a beautiful property. The view is one of the best.
The entrance to the property is difficult and probably not the best for anyone with any joint issues or need for good path lighting to the entrance. While the home is very well appointed, masterly, the communication with the management company was not good.
The home was selected as it was stated to accommodate 16 people. The room which was designated for 15-16 was below the staircase and not appropriate for an additional “room”. The door to the room resembled a hobbit door, the staircase down was extremely narrow and filled with equipment for children. The “game room” provided a pull-out sofa, unmade, with a plastic bag containing sheets. As we were a family of adults, we elected to rent an additional apartment in Brienno, because we would not want our guests to sleep or attempt to sleep in such conditions.
The management company provided one towel and one hand towel for each guest for a 6 day rental. We were not notified of this prior to paying all fees and then told it would be an additional fees per guest for another towel. (high). Be prepared to buy toilet paper and hand soap for bathrooms. While tiny packets and bars were provided not sure they were anti-bacterial or cleansing enough.
We attempted to communicate via email and calls with the property manager multiple times. Only one email returned. The call was short, but finally got someone out to make a sofa bed. Unfortunately, the condition of the game room was not good from a living standpoint so we rented another unit.
The outside patio and deck area was beautiful. The dock was useful as we utilized water taxis for events.
The second ADU unit was nicely appointed, however guests indicated very cold inside.
Overall the view countered the negatives.
