We stayed in July , and, while the property is visually attractive and was cleaj upon arrival, several major issues made our stay far more difficult than expected and prevent me from recommending it.1. Air Conditioning:The AC system does not function effectively. Despite efforts from Vittorio, the local contact (who was responsive and courteous), the temperature throughout the villa remained uncomfortably high. We purchased five fans just to make sleeping manageable. The issue seems to be systemic, not something Vittorio could resolve, and we were repeatedly told “it’s working” when it clearly wasn’t.2. Kitchen Design:The kitchen layout is poorly thought out. Essential items like pots, pans, dishes, and utensils are scattered far from where they're needed, making cooking cumbersome and inefficient—particularly for a group.3. Oven Inoperable:The interior oven did not work at all. The instructions in the villa manual didn’t match the model installed. Even with the help of three Italian locals trying to assist, we couldn’t get it to function. We planned a "foccacia night" with a lesson from local friends. When they were ready to cook, they had not cooked. They had to transport the focaccias back to their home to cook them. 4. Midweek Cleaning:Though a midweek cleaning was promised, it never occurred.While the setting is lovely, the lack of basic functionality—especially for the price—seriously detracted from our experience. I cannot recommend this property.
