From the moment we arrived at Casa Oleandra (after the very kind and
spontaneous help from some locals at the gas station), we immediately fell in
love with the house and the scenery: the beautiful (!!) mountains on the left, the
vast landscape (with sheep) on the right. The contact beforehand with the owners was accurate and very friendly (always clear and fast information).
The house itself was perfectly clean and had everything we could wish for. 4
(renewed) bathrooms for 4 bedrooms made it ourselves very comfortable. We all
slept very well in the large beds (my husband is about 2 metres tall), and every
bedroom was decorated very unique and authentic. Not insignificant: all
windows had mosquito netting and ventilation. If we’re really have to be
crititcal, than the only thing the kitchen missed, was a micro wave. And as we
like to eat outside, the large table at the swimming pool would have been more
usefull/practicable if standing under the terrace roof, near the kitchen.
The kids (all between 5 and 8) discovered the well mentained swimming pool and would have
stayed in for like two weeks, if we didn’t force them to come out now and then
Even from the terrace just up ahead, we could watch them playing in the water.
The springboard was an added value and the recliners gave us the perfect
opportunity to read a book (or to dream away while watching the marvelous
natural beauty of the surrounding area).
The location of the casa was perfectly for visiting beautiful spots (we tried not to
drive more than 1 hour): Sarnano, Ascoli Piceno, San Gineseo, … all worth it,
although in all honesty I must say we were taken aback by the most recent
earthquakes ‘aftermath’. We also spend a very nice day at the beach site.
After 14 days, we were totally relaxed and we felt perfectly accepted by the very
kind locals (of the restaurants, bars, …)! If you are looking for a place to relax in an amazing place, this is the place to be.
We definitely will come back to this little
italien paradise.
