Riverside / Pet & Family Friendly Eco-getaway Bambini Sotto i 5 N / C

Worked well as a stopping point for visiting our family.

Beautiful spot, out in nature. Lots for kids to do outside. Host was excellent. Highly recommended!

Luxury off-grid, but too dark for us. There is a lot to like about the place. Excellent internet and an unbounded backyard paradise for youngsters. However, we lacked a view and sunlight. Not obvious to us from the ad was that the unit was not stand-alone. The building is divided in two, and we lacked access to the advertised deck of the other unit occupied by owner/agent. The only view was standing in the kitchen in the upper level. The rest of the unit was on the bottom level, sunk part-way into the ground on a cool dry modern concrete pad. There were windows, but the low level view is blocked by RVs, fencing, wood supports etc. The kitchen view was also not viewable from the main kitchen table - so lights on in the middle of the day as other window blocked by lattice etc. On the plus side, everything was modern and worked (except dryer and bbq needing maintenance). Having the other unit occupied by someone looking after the place also meant the generators were started automatically when stored solar power ran low. Swimming holes and nearby hiking also great. Older folks may want hiking poles to manage steep descent.

Cabin: a small shelter or house, made of wood and situated in a wild or remote area. This is what we expected, but it wasn’t what we found here. The place, although spacious and in a great location, is part of the owner’s house. The living room has a wood stove (which is the only heating source) but is dominated by a huge fitness machine. Great kitchen, nice bathroom, lousy beds with sink hole mattresses. To make this place its money worth the (friendly) owner must step up to earn a better review.
