Thank you, Julia, for your detailed review of La NiCChia. We appreciate your feedback, which allows me to address some points that would benefit our future guests. So, I'll go into detail too. It's crucial to reiterate that the rental rate should not be combined with the Vrbo fee, which could lead to confusion. If you talk to your host, please consider the rental amount without the platform's fees! We often change the house equipment. The pots (from Ikea 365inox steel) and pans (Linea Kasanova) mentioned were last year. A couple in Teflon had traces of limescale. I'm sorry about that; daily water boiling is the cause. Unfortunately, the dishwasher does not remove them. Just a few drops of vinegar, as our grandmothers recommended. We do not know how to reply about the knives (Rostfrei) but thank you. Villa la NiCChia is part of the old family property; the castle and two other country houses compose a true little Borgo that served the castle in the past. You can learn more on the website's first description page and later in the rental agreement, just as you can learn about the private destination on the top floor. The two things can be read positively: on one side, the unique charm of a private aristocratic context, shared by few; on the other, the priceless feeling of a sense of lightness knowing that there is someone – the owner, not an agency - who takes immediately care of every annoyance that a house usually, but not always!!, could afflict who stay (irrigation system, appliances, lack of power or water, trouble with WIFI, TV, Air. Co heating, pool…) or assistance with any information about the area, restaurants, beaches, and locations to visit… as our guests know! Since your comfort is our top priority until possible, you can (of course) enter the property through the lighted olive-treed path whenever you need to. Once you've unloaded your belongings, we kindly ask the "driver" to park in an area just outside the gate. Our conscious green choice is a testament to our commitment to preserving the aesthetic of our surroundings. We believe that this effort enhances the overall experience for our guests, demonstrating our care and dedication to your stay.

Thank you so much, Larry, for choosing our Villa La NiCChia and for leaving us such a generous review. We're delighted that you had a pleasant stay and appreciated many aspects of our property. We have noted your comments about the proximity of other homes. As you rightly mentioned, information about the different units and the property's layout is fully disclosed in the listing description, precisely to ensure maximum transparency for our guests. We appreciate your constructive feedback and will consider it as we continue to evaluate how to enhance the visual presentation of the listing. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future!

Merci à Nathalie, son mari et ses 6 amis d’être venus chez nous pour fêter un joyeux événement! Ce fut un réel plaisir de vous accueillir et de rendre votre séjour le plus agréable possible! Bien sûr, cela ne pouvait pas être comme ça avec une maison "tiède" à la fin du mois de janvier. Malheureusement, pour tous, le LPG coûte plus cher que le gaz naturel, qui n’arrive pas encore dans notre région.Un exemple - votre séjour - pour les futurs hôtes. Le jeudi 31 janvier, la maison avait une température interne (minimale) de 5 °, externe 4 °. A votre arrivée, 36 heures plus tard, la température interne avait atteint 20 ° C, maintenue jusqu'au 3 février, jour du départ. La température extérieure moyenne était d'environ 7 °. 4 jours, les plus froids de l'année ... Si votre séjour avait duré une semaine, la consommation de LPG aurait été légèrement supérieure aux vos 48 mc. En fait, la consommation la plus importante - près des trois quarts du total - est toujours déterminée par le démarrage de la chaudière qui est effectuée au moins 36 heures avant l'arrivée des hôtes . Un facteur important est (aussi) la température extérieure.Nous savons que le chauffage au LPG a une incidence considérable et nous en sommes les premières victimes! C'est pourquoi nos prix sont raisonnables, même à Noël et au Nouvel An. Mais laissez moi dire ... la NiCChia semble faite pour accueillir entre ses murs même pendant le rude hiver, avec deux bonnes cheminées ...Ce serait dommage de ne pas venir!
