We have arrived in this beautiful house a few days before my wedding with a group of 10 ( btw 30 yrs old not 18! I'll explain later why I'm am pointing this out!)
The house is absolutely stunning and well presented, the garden is great, the swimming pool cosy but functional.
Everything ticked the right boxes, Federico is in appearance a nice guy , welcoming and polite and his family is nice as well.
We spent 4 days out of 7 that we paid for due to my wedding occurring the 1st of September, I did inform him that the 31st of August we would have left the house. When we arrived the briefing was exaustive and Federico clearly stated that after 12 o'clock at night we couldn't make any more noise ( again, to us it seemed exaggerated but we thought that maybe in he past they had groups of youngsters that kept music very loud until very late morning...bah, we were surprised by his statement but we thought it wouldn't effect us...).
1- In the three nights that we stayed in we have been asked 2/3 times to lower the tone of the voice (not the music...the VOICE...!!!)
2- the fact the we left the house earlier with full payment of the weekly rent , only gave the owner the chance to rent the house again from the day we were leaving, despite he told me that I had to pay the full price due to lack of booking in September
3- the deposit for cleaning ... He took 30 per cent from the deposit because the cleaner had to work on the house and then he called me to complaint about the state of the bathrooms...they were dirty , despite taking money to pay the cleaners...I assumed he expected all his guests to clean the house before they leave ... So pls make sure you do so, despite the fact that he will take cleaning money from your deposit in any case...bah...
If you are people who want to have a nice holiday without stress whatsoever, then do not rent this house, Federico is clearly the type of owner who will try to take advantage.
I must be honest though, the house is literally stunning and his parents are very sweet and helpful people, I would suggest to liaise with them rather than him to have a stress free vacation. Good luck
