I really didn't want to, but I find myself compelled to respond. A bunch of hooligans. How else to describe Mr. Errol’s group? Reckless diving into the pool—despite the ban—smashing through the protective grate of a bottom drain (they were the only ones in the pool at the time); I didn't even ask for compensation for this, simply because in any case the Italian law requires them to be replaced with anti-vortex grates. Shouting, running, climbing on the gates, no showering before entering the water—they even went into the pool naked without any regard for others present or asking if it was allowed. As if they were entitled to everything just because they had rented a house. Savages. Not the kind of guests we want or usually host. We tried to highlight their behavior in the rating we gave Mr. Errol’s group—just one star (since we had to select something for the review to go through)—within the limited space the site allows for comments. A bunch of hooligans. Savage and ill-mannered. Their stay? A risk to our business. They did everything to invite accidents; under Italian law, the property owner is held primarily liable in such cases—no excuses from the guests would matter—and we could face closure. And all this for renting to people like that for a week? We strongly advise against hosting Mr. Errol and his entourage. Ours is a house that is over 150 years old. It is not advertised as having air conditioning. It is not advertised as a luxury villa, but as a "Hunting Lodge." We fail to understand the logic Mr. Errol uses when renting a house where he chooses to spend a week's holiday. It is a fact that it was hot in August—the hottest August on record. He should go rent houses with air conditioning. As Mr. Errol could easily read—if only he bothered to read things before spouting off random judgments—he is the only one that found the kitchen "basic." Once again, we fail to understand the logic behind Mr. Errol’s choice when renting a house for his week-long holiday. He should be renting houses with chef-grade kitchens. We fail to understand the logic behind Mr. Errol renting of houses where he chooses to spend a week's holiday. Perhaps it is simply so he can badmouth them after he leaves, in a fit of delirium of grandeur? A pathetic man who acts like a big shot. We are more than happy never to see him—or his entourage—again.

Good evening Lisa, We never stop appreciating and taking guest reviews seriously, and your review has been very helpful especially in regards to knives and sheets. Great idea to make a knife sharpener available. However, we were a bit disconcerted as we had them all sharpened two years ago by spending an impressive € 370.00 for all 6 houses and being houses used yes and no for three months a year we were surprised that they were already no longer sharpened. It is true that they are certainly not haute cuisine knives, but they should have lasted longer anyway. Sheets: We do not use Indian cotton sheets, only pure percale cotton sheets. And those are certainly not rough. So we thought maybe it's the mattress protectors underneath them that make the surface rough. We plan to change them thanks to your observation despite the fact that in 12 years of activity it is the first time we have heard such a thing. But there is always a first time. As far as vibrations are concerned, they are normal in an old house. Of course, for those used to living in a modern house or a house that has been redone from scratch, this may seem disturbing. But that's normal. The washing machine: German (there is also a fast program). And finally to answer your question about why we only gave you four stars out of five: it is only by answering the question about communication (posted to us by VRBO) that we didn't give you five out of five as Victory did not at all appreciate the fact that you were leaving without warning or saying goodbye, leaving the house open. Not even in the hotel you leave without leaving the keys to the concierge and therefore we concluded that there was a lack of communication. By answering the other questions we gave you all of the five stars.
