We had an excellent stay in Gemma's and Federico's cozy and lovely vacation home. The location is just great and the beach is also we really good. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Some VRBO rentals are just basic furnishings in a boring apartment. NOT this one.The house is very nicely put together with art and furniture. We enjoyed sitting out on the balcony for coffee in the morning and drinks in the evening. Gemma even has a citronella mosquito coil, which worked much better than I might have guessed.There are 30-40 steps to get to the house from parking. BUT (pay attention) there are two entrances, one above the house and one below. So we brought our bags down the steps when we arrived, and then brought them down again when we left. No need to lug your bags up the stairs.The kitchen was create including a couple of outstanding frying pans. There is no oven, but there is a microwave. The coffee maker is a Lavazza pod system, so wait to get there before buying coffee. There is also a moka if you're a traditionalist.If you're interested in a Michelin one-star tasting menu, we recommend Vignamare, a short drive away.

We were disappointed that the apartment was not quite what we saw online. But it was fine for us.

We greatly enjoyed the appartment which was large and very well furnished with a large and very welcoming balcony. We also greatly enjoyed the garden and the proximity to the sandy beach which was great for our grandkids and the town which is only a short walk away. We would like to thank Gemma and Frederico again for the kind welcome and his help in transporting us to and from the train station. Tony and Michele
