Beatiful view - house gets very hot - kitchen with defects - pool needs maintenance
I just spent a week in this house with my partner and our three adult children. We had a wonderful time and the views from the terrasses as well as from the house are indeed fabulous. However, I wish to point out that the house has a serious problem with becoming very warm. The house has many south facing windows/doors and as there are no shutters before the windows and probably no isolation in the roof, it is not possible to prevent the house from heating up during the day. Even though we kept all doors open all evening for ventilation purposes, it was unbearable to stay inside, especially in the kitchen, which was a problem in relation to cooking.
It should be noted that there are only aicons in the bedrooms and that according to the terms, you must pay for the use of electricity in excess of 100 kwh. Consequently, we only used the aircons at night (and only in 3 rooms), however we still used appr 230 kwh in one week (!)
Furthermore, I wish to point out that the dish washer and the refrigerator are both old and ineffective and should be replaced, that the pool needs clean up of the discoloured sides, and that some of the outdoor furniture need replacement.
The property manager Francesco was very accommodating and did his best to compensate for these issues, however the heating issue needs further initiatives from the owners.
Recommendation to the owners:
I encourage you to accept the fact that use of aircons is necessary in the warmer months and to include this in the rent. You could also consider to install some outdoor kitchen facilities as an alternative to the warm kitchen inside
