This is one of the most beautiful properties I’ve ever visited. It is rare that the real thing is more beautiful than the professional photos. That is the case with this Villa! Our host, Guilia, was very responsive, extremely helpful, and she went out of her way to make this a wonderful vacation for us. This is also one of the cleanest houses I’ve ever stayed in in my life, you could literally eat off the floors. The midweek cleaning was amazing, it was almost like staying in a five star hotel. They have all the basic amenities and then some. From the AC in every single bedroom, to the hot water working perfectly with 11 people using it all the time, to all the little personal touches. You feel like you are staying in someone’s familiar old family home. It is rare that the actual house that you stay in for a vacation enhances the vacation to the point where you don’t want to leave it. I want to go back to this town because of home. That said, we loved the little town of Salo. It was quiet, loaded with amenities and good restaurants, and a 5 minute drive from the house our host recommended a wonderful chef to come to the house. Jo from Jo Cooking, came to our house to do a pasta making session with 11 of us and then again to cook us a special dinner for my mother‘s birthday.Do ask for her information if you are going to stay here, even if it’s just for one meal! We spent one entire day on the lake with Taxi Boat Salo.Party of 11 with kids 7,11,13,17,19.Very easy to drive to!
