We had a great time at Villa Ponticello. Communication up to and during our stay with Karolina was fantastic. The accommodations were just as advertised...clean, spacious, safe, and comfortable for our party of 6. Karime and Siri were delightful to work with during our stay. Reviews of Karime's cooking "ability" do not do her justice. She is a fantastic chef, and was a complete joy to work with. Karime was always willing to do anything we needed of her...from grocery shopping to setting up reservations in town. I can't say enough nice things about Karime...we wanted to take her home with us after our trip!! Couple of things to keep in mind. We had our college kids with us, and they wanted to go into town a lot. You definitely don't walk to town from the property and need a taxi or Uber. The Uber drivers got lost pretty much every time trying to find the house (I think it was an issue with their GPS in the neighborhood). So if you are planning on going into town a lot, know that you will need a taxi (roughly 20 bucks for a group of 6 each way) or Uber (roughly 5 bucks each way if they can find you). The other thing to keep in mind is the nearby beach. The house is roughly less than a 5 min walk to the beach, which is great. And the beach is fantastic. Beautiful sand, great views, and perfect for long walks. The catch is the beach has signs posted "no swimming". The currents/rip-tide make the water very dangerous. We had a retired american pilot, who has resided there for over 15 years, come up to us while we were on the beach and stress how dangerous the water is (we have a 4 yr old) for the kids to be playing at/near the water line. He said that there are roughly 1-2 deaths/year from tourists "trying their luck in the surf" (which is a number I can't confirm/deny). My advice..beautiful beach, but just be careful. If you want to swim, stick to the pools at the house which were great! Overall, we had a great time and would not hesitate to stay at Villa Ponticello again.
