Beautiful villa, but flawed water infrastructure
We spent 6 days in this villa on April 2016. We were a family of 8 adults and 3 young kids.
This is our 4th holiday villa we rent in Italy (Tuscany, Sorrento and Sicily), along with several villas in other countries (mostly France) in the past few years with our family, so definitely have some perspective.
Our overall experience was mixed. We wouldn't recommend the villa unless the water infrastructure is fundamentally overhauled.
The Good:
1. The villa is well located in Umbria, very appropriate for "star" day trips.
2. The villa is very spacious - large living room, generous rooms, en-suite for (almost) all rooms. It never felt crowded.
3. The outside of the villa is beautiful, and very well kept. Spacious mowed lawns, nothing but birds song and breathtaking view. The pictures on the web site are true to life...
4. The beds are excellent, with quality linen and blankets, we all had a very good night sleep.
5. House heating works well, we were never cold in the house, although the temperature outside was 10-11 degC during most of our visit.
The Bad:
1. The main issue we had was with the water system in the showers. The water pressure in the bathrooms upstairs ranged from so-so to abysmal. And the water heating system didn't work well - 2 out of 6 nights we didn't have hot water in most of the showers. This was very frustrating, especially after the technician visit that was supposed to resolve the problem didn't resolve it. After the 2nd night of lacking hot water we left the villa. Surely, a cold shower with low water pressure was not what we were hoping for at the end of a chilly day... doesn't live up to the "luxury" title IMO.
2. The inside design - clearly the owners invested a lot, but not so much to our liking (I'd say it's over-design in many cases - design over functionality). Some rooms (e.g. the living room, relaxing room) use so little light they were unusable for us after dark. The kitchen makes heavy use of black tops and cabinets, which we didn't care for, and made it quite dark. The shower in one of the rooms is painted black and lacks a lamp, so when the curtain is closed it's almost pitch black...
3. Other amenities didn't live up to the "luxury" title IMO - again, perhaps it's design over functionality. Examples: basic cabinets in the rooms with no shelves, uncomfortable chairs in the dining table, no tablecloth for the dining table (I was told to use individual placemats...), only a single small TV in the entire house...
