Two experiences in one villa
We, an extended family of eight adults and two teenagers, spent one week in Villa Jenny early November.
Our expectations were high when arriving, based on pictures and previous reviews. And in many areas those expectations were met:
- Interaction with the owner, Vito, and the caretaker, Angela, was swift and easy from start to finish.
- Rosa was wonderful, she made us breakfast, cooked us dinner and made every meal an experience.
- Francesco and his drivers were reliable, timely and friendly.
- The two bottom floors, the garden and the terrace lived up to, or in part exceeded our expectations, although time had taken its toll on some of the furniture.
That part of our experience was 5 star.
The upper floor was an entirely ”different cup of tea”. The pictures presented in the ad are accurate, but none of the 38 pictures show the bedrooms on the upper floor (apart from a glimpse of one bed in a picture showing the terrace). The rest of the pictures show the same bedrooms on the middle floor from different angles!
The entire upper floor is in need of attention, from the broken tiling to wallpaper and restoring glass doors so that the rain stays on the outside when the rain is heavy. We were woken up the last night by water literally pouring through our closed window.
To sum things up:
If you are seven people or less, all sleeping in the middle floor and just using the upper floor to get to the terrace, you are in for a lovely experience in an 18-century Italian Villa. If you are eight or more, be aware of the fact that the upper floor is of a completely different standard.
