A charming little property in a lovely part of Italy
+ve Location - stunning views & close to many lovely and varied towns by car. Charming little house with a perfectly sized pool for 2. Spacious patio area with ample choice of full sun or full shade areas till late evening. Spacious and modern kitchen and 3 choices of dining area. Spacious bathroom. Comfy bed and good bedroom storage. Wonderful hosts. Really helpful and on hand but not at all overbearing. It is your choice to be in contact with the hosts or not. Mario is a very interesting, knowledgable man , who went above and beyond to make our stay amazing.
-ve I don’t wish to be negative as we had such a lovely time but to be helpful, especially as Wendy is planning to increase the price, I will note a couple of things here.
The parasol ( which will seem petty) was awful. It was very old, dirty and ripped and wasn’t a pleasure to have up. Quite a few light bulbs weren’t working - mainly around bathroom mirror We couldn’t get the socket by the toaster to work. The bedroom patio had no appeal so we didn’t use it. Perhaps a nice parasol there and a pot of lavender or something would be an easy fix. The garden was untidy and overgrown with weeds. Grass was short but everywhere else needed a good tidy up. The bathroom was great but not to my taste - I feel the style is very dated. The bedroom walls could do with a fresh coat of paint. The plumbing had an issue when we were there so we couldn’t use the dishwasher - I must say though that the hosts were aware and were trying to remedy this - they were extremely apologetic and offered us compensation in other ways, which surpassed the nature of the issue and added to our holiday experience greatly.
The negatives are really easy fixes but would add greatly to the property and experience.
I also need to add that we didn’t trouble the owners about the parasol, bulbs and socket so they are likely unaware and re garden, Italy had been in the midst of a heatwave and who wants to do gardening in that but going forward, this would make a difference.
