Review for stay from 06 August 2022 to 13 August 2022
We stayed at Broccolo in August 2022. There were six in our party (aged between 24 and 59!). The villa was originally booked for August 2020 but had to be moved due to COVID. EasyReserve were helpful in arranging this and the agents in Italy itself were very helpful nearer the time.
The villa itself is delightful and the pictures provided give a true representation. It is a rustic villa and to be fair we spent most of our time outside as the grounds and pool are delightful and very well maintained.
The bedrooms are all air conditioned apart from the one in the basement - the basement room is very large and has a private seating area but is quite dark.
The villa was cleaned twice whilst we were there - we had not expected this - and the cleaner was very friendly. Neither the owner nor the cleaner spoke much English. The owner met us when we arrived and we had to provide a !000 euro security deposit in cash. To be honest this was a bit of a pain as it had to be cash which meant we had 1000 euros in cash on our return journey. However we were aware of this when we booked the property and the money was retuned to us with no issues.
We did not have a car whilst we were there. This was our choice. We did not want to have to drive a big people mover. Instead we used the services of a 'tour' driver. His name was given to us by the letting agent in Italy and he was excellent (Francesco - Just in Case). We went to Pisa and Lucca with him on day trips, he took us to a wine tasting farm for an evening (Fattoria Al Dotto - excellent value and fun) and we also had two nights out for meals in Lucca. Taxis are not cheap - mind you neither is car hire - however we still spent less on taxis than we would have with a car.
There was a supermarket 1km from the villa (door to door) and we went down every day to this. There is also a cakeshop and a pizzeria in the village. We used both. The main road is quite busy but after 500m from the house there is a pavement and we did not find the walk onerous.
ON reflection a car would give you greater flexibility to explore the countryside during the day but we were quite happy pottering around the villa and walking to neighbouring villages.We could not have used the car on an evening anyway as we all wanted to drink.
