Surrounded by greenery near the sea (Rosa cottage)

The lovely couple that owns this property lives next door. When we arrived, the husband showed us around with his broken English and my broken Italian. His wife brought us over bruschetta, mozzarella, other cheeses and salami, pizza, and olives from their farm. It was greatly appreciated after our drive. The house is outfitted well with everything you need for basic cooking. There is an outdoor kitchen available in a covered area just outside the door also. Just one air conditioner in the house and it’s located in the family room. We had record high temps while visiting (95 degrees F), but with the bedroom doors open and the fans placed in the doorways, we slept comfortably. The home is in the country and you definitely need a car to get around. They are putting the final touches on a small pool that will be so perfect when it’s finished. As far as amenities go, there is a washer available and a drying rack to hang your clothes. Bathrooms had shampoo, conditioner, and hair dryers. The fridge was stocked with milk and water, and there were bottles of wine for purchase that were reasonably priced. (We were also offered free beer or wine, and soda for the kids on arrival.) The parking space is tight, but our station wagon fit just fine. There’s an electric gate to keep your vehicle safe, and the house key chain has a remote for it, so no need to memorize any codes. The beds and pillows were firm. The family room bedrooms had TVs that worked well. It was a beautiful stay!
