Sea views in a tranquil area. Infinity saline pool. AC & WIFI

Thanks Dougal. Come again sometime. Hopefully the suitcases and paddle boards will follow you next time :)

Hi there. It was a pleasure to meet you and your families. Do come again sometime and enjoy this beautiful island

Thanks for the review Alex. Enjoy the rest of your stay in Europe

hi Gemma. Thanks so much for your thoughtful a and detailed comments. Glad your whole family enjoyed themselves.

Thanks Mel. Always welcome

Thank you. Both families were delightful and really appreciated the area for what it is. They were also extremely tolerant of a few challenges we had over their stay including a minor blackout, failure of internet provider and an issue with the sesspit. However these are what to expect sometimes in italy as national utilities are not perfect. However it is a small price to pay in order to experience some of the untold beauties of this area. Thanks again. And please do come again, you will more than welcome.

This is the first review for 2012 and we really appreciate the response. We know that people are busy and writing a review can be a bit of hassle. It's good to see the villa is still being appreciated for the things we wanted to achieve. i.e. making it a home from home where you would lack nothing to enjoy your holiday. Thanks Paul

Hi Adrian. Many thanks for your detailed and considered review and I am delighted you enjoyed the location and overall, I get the impression, you enjoyed your stay at the villa.. Thanks in particular for highlighting two areas we need to make clearer in the information we provide for our guests. We do actually provide both an interim clean for guests who stay two weeks or longer and guests can also request to make changes to the AC schedule whenever they wish as it is run remotely. They may if they wish have this system on 24/7. These are offered on request for an additional charge as some clients prefer not to have these as additional services added to the base cost.. All the best, Paolo

Thanks for your detailed review and comments. It really does reflect what we are trying to achieve. I would also agree with you that the council refuse system is not ideal for holidaymakers and we are continuing to ask for dedicated municipal bins. It is one of the challenges of having a place that is not 'touristy'. Thanks also for keeping the villa so clean and keeping us informed of issues as they emerged. Do come again some time.

Thank you for your kind and generous response. Please come again some time.

Thankyou. Over the past couple of years temperatures have risen and July in particular has got warmer so I'm glad you appreciated both the AC and the pool. Notably you decided not to purchase 24/7 AC and yet we're still able to live comfortably. We always ask guests to give the scheduled programme a try as we use it and it works for us. On our part we really appreciated how clean you left the house at the end your stay and your own friendliness towards us. Thanks again.

Hélène/Cédrine. Thankyou for your comments and for being such wonderful guests. My wife and I particualrly apprecIated your care and concern for our house and the pool. Thankyou. Do come again sometime. Paolo

Merci pour votre aimable avis. J'ai beaucoup apprécié de vous rencontrer tous et de passer du temps ensemble. S'il vous revenez un temps.

Danke, dass ihr so tolle Gäste seid

Dear Katrina, Thankyou for sparing the time to send us a review. Naturally we are disappointed regarding your comments about the house. 75 5 star reviews (and 4 4 star) testify that this is extremely unusual. We were also very disappointed that the weather was not ideal during your stay. Unfortunately, whilst we did communicate on a regular basis at no point did you make issue with the house during your stay. We would gladly have tried to address them. This is not a luxury villa. We never state this in our promotion other than the pool which is a luxury pool. The villa is a comfortable family home. You would pay far more if this villa was luxury with the adjoining pool. We will however remove the word luxury from its association with the pool so that there is no confusion. We thank you for leaving the house so clean. We are surprised you found issue with its cleanliness as my wife takes great pride in ensuring the villa is spotless when you arrive and in 14 years of rental no one has ever commented on the cleanliness of the house, other than praising it. You state everything was unclean. We simply cannot reconcile this with previous guests who have praised the cleanliness of the house. We provided all the rooms with cotton duvets above the cupboards of each room. We left a number of the beds with sheets and a cover because it was quite warm and humid. So you had the option for this. Had you asked for them the solution would have been provided for you. Squeaky doors. I have no comment. Again a little Wd45 and having told us, we would have resolved it for you. The outdoor furnishings. Yes you mentioned this and we have subsequently ordered (they are arriving today) 4 more loungers and 2 external garden chairs. As for internal furnishings, we agree a couple of the chairs need addressing. And finally, the waste disposal. The system in Italy, like many countries is different and we should simply respect the effort that people take to ensure environmentally friendly waste disposal. We try to explain this as best we can. You mentioned that you might be unable to get rid of many of the bottles and some waste and we generously asked you to do the best that you could, however to not worry as we would deal with it on your departure. Blaming us, for a countries waste disposal system is not justified as we make great efforts to explain this to all our customers as waste is disposed of on a daily basis although plastic and glass is more problematic, and we make allowances for this. We further feel that we provided you with considerable flexibility in regard to your arrival and departure details and kept you constantly updated. You were given to arrive and depart when you wished. My wife left you with some gifts in the fridge as we were aware the weather was not going to be great for your stay. We would have appreciated some degree of gratitude for this. Kindest Regards, Paolo Mannu

delighted your family enjoyed all the amenities. You were lucky to have good weather to enjoy the pool as well. Do come again some time. Paolo

Thank you

HI Delphine. Many thanks for your thoughtful review that helps future guests make an informed decision about the villa and what to expect. Glad you enjoyed your stay.

Thank you. You were our first guests with the brand new pool and delighted you enjoyed it. Thank you for taking good care of the house and for being patient with us as we start to develop our service with new offerings for the villa. Come again, please

Thank you so much. You sum the experience of being at the villa so we’ll. come again some time.

Hello Michael, Thank you so much for your detailed review. Given the success of using WhatsApp we will be using this in the future to help our guests as it gives us the opportunity to quickly respond to any queries. It is a shame about the pool. And as you say we were caught by COVID lockdown. However, the architects and pool people are coming together again in September where we hope to start work on an infinity pool in October. Lets hope this terrible virus settles. Thank you so much for keeping the property clean and making it your own

Thank you so. much for your kind words. And as in the previous reply we will definitely be using whatsapp in the future as we can reply and act on any issues of concern very quickly. We leave you in peace and you call us when you need us. Best of both worlds. Thanks for also keeping the property so clean and being such gracious guests.
