- The house is indeed very close to the beach. One has a lovely view over the sea; dining on the terrace is so nice that one does not really want to go to any of the restaurants in walking distance ... (see below) - The 100m distance from the beach mentioned in the advert and one photo are slightly misleading, though: You do have to cross a
- little, not busy! - road to get to another very small road to get to the beach ... We cannot really understand though how one can just go for a swim and then stay for the rest of the day at the house, as it is suggested in somebody else's comment.
- Sara wants you to pay both portions of the renting costs via bank transfer. We really appreciated this because it means that the inland revenue actually can see the money earnt. So many times we handed over the largest portion of the renting costs cash to the (Italian landlord) at the arrival, and the money was put in a pocket and very probably not ever mentioned in any tax claim.
- House and garden are clean and well-maintained. The bathrooms could do with some love, but they serve their purpose.
- Plates, glasses etc. are there obviously, but really just five of each. Apart from the basic things there is the usual junk you find in most holiday apartments. We didn't care about this, but if you do ...
- The house has some corners with a really low ceiling, where one constantly bangs one's head if one is taller than 1,70m and not used to these spots. Unfortunately the kitchen cupboards are at the same inconvenient height. Might sound like a banality, but if you have banged your head for the umpteenth time, you do get a little annoyed.
- The two restaurants at both ends of the beach are expensive and disappointing. We spent many holidays in Italy and were therefore surprised by how much effort is put in both places in presenting - rather mediocre - food in some unnecessarily exaggerated way. - Obviously, this comment has nothing to do with the house, but it means that you have to drive somewhere else in order to get a good meal for a reasonable price.
- We were informed quite rudely by the neighbouring landlady about the complicated way of rubbish collection (and how we had done it wrong, not having been informed thoroughly enough by our own landlady). She complained bitterly about having to discard of a number of empty wine bottles by the family who had rented her house. If you rent Sara's house - stay away from her.
4 stars, with no doubt! But not 5.
