Ferieboliger i Roccatederighi

Our family had a very nice and relaxing stay at the Villa in July of 2022. We were a family of 5+1 daughter in-law - of ages 14-52. The best thing about the villa is no doubt the amazing view of the Maremma plain and the old part of Roccatederighi from the terrace and pool. Next comes the secludedness, but still close to the tiny and very old town of Roccatederighi. The town has everything you need - although very small stores and restaurants. Very rural. Beware that the house has no air condition. Hence strict observation of open/close windows, doors and shutters should be observed. We found the "filled fridge" option nice, but overpriced. Would recommend planning a shopping trip to Grossetto on the day of arrival instead. Also, the "cooking class" was problematic. The food was delicious but the two women had prepared the pasta dough and filling in advance, so only the preparation of the tortellini and boiling was anything resembling af "class". We had expected to make the dough ourselves and felt "left over" in the process. Also the women spoke ONLY Italian - no english. So communication was near impossible. The experience would better qualify as in-house cooking and was, unfortunately a disappointment to us. The host was extremely helpfull and responsive both before and during our stay. A very nice plus. We can definitely recommend a stay at Villa Guarda Mare.
