I have been meaning to write a review for ages, but just never got around to it! Rossana was very prompt in answering all my concerns. The property and the home is beautiful, clean and very well set out for a large group, however being our first trip to Italy we were a little surprised at a couple of things that would have made our stay so much more pleasant. A car is definitely recommended as it is not walking distance to any beach or grocery store. The views of the countryside are amazing tho. The house was well presented and we were met by the lovely Chetila, who showed us around. Unfortunately we found the home way too hot in mid summer to be comfortable. The little fans on offer are just not good enough to cool down the bedrooms and we had little to no breeze, would highly recommend at least ceiling fans in all the bedrooms, if air con is not an option. The lovely open balcony off all the bedrooms is really nice, but personally I would have liked to see more daybeds, or outdoor furniture to sit and have a drinks or relax, as it seems like such a waste of beautiful space and views. The pool is beautiful but we could not use the seating area or one end of the pool due to the amount of wasps on the property. We had two people stung with another person being highly allergic. So this was a constant worry. Flies and mosquitoes were a bit of a nuisance so I would definitely recommend some kind of fogging to keep these "pests" away. I would also have expected more fridge capacity, the one fridge is certainly not enough for a large group, although there is a freezer this is not easily accessible and there are no ice trays to make ice. We were desperately finding ways to keep our drinks cool, an additional fridge with ice maker would definitely make for a more convenient stay. Even a wine fridge would have been a nice addition, as we really struggled to keep stuff cold (not frozen). I think a bigger BBQ grill would be a nice addition too. We absolutely loved the little restaurant at the top of the road - Villa Clesia, so would highly recommend going to it (more than once!). We had the privilege of having Adriana cook for us on our first night. I would highly recommend you do this, as she is an amazing cook and it was definitely the highlight of our stay! "Siesta" time truly does mean that everything closes, no option for a late lunch anywhere! Overall we enjoyed our stay at Villa Calgiano.
