We loved the place. It is spacious and surrounded by trees. It is very central. Pino kept us well-supplied with logs for all three fireplaces. There are some minor inconveniences: hot water tends to be intermittent upstrairs while internet reception is hopeless (except in sitting room) though that seems to be the case in the whole georgraphical area. We still recommend it highly

6.0 / 10.0Average·Jun 2024
A really lovely rustic Italian villa in a great location for visiting surrounding area. The dogs loved the extensive gardens. We had a fantastic stay. However, this is an old villa; it needs some attention. Particularly the showers and the cooker. We got used to the noise from the busy road being there for so long.
