Booking was easy. We were in contact with Lorraine. The communications was very friendly, easy and she answered very quickly every time. We were very happy that it was possible to book last minute and that everything was arranged and prepared for us in only a few days.
We had a very nice and relaxing week at “Al Melo”. The house and the garden with pool and the BBQ are perfectly equipped and everything was very clean. We did not miss anything. We could see that Al Melo was beautiful renovated with love and quality.
The bedrooms downstairs have a good size, one is equipped with a double bed. I think it has a width of 1,60 m and the second room is furnished with two single beds. One time we had a scorpion in the room, but we used a cup to catch him and to set him free in the garden. We saw also other animals such as deers, a cat, lizards, bats, bees, a friendly hornet.
Fabio the owner came around every couple of days to clean the pool and he brought us delicious strawberries. Close to the house they have a property where they grow vegetables and fruits, but they will not disturb you. Due to the fact that the property is surrounded by fields, you will hear land machines or mowing machines from time to time.
After the Corona lock down we were the first guests at Al Melo. Although these strange days, we felt very welcome and we were very impressed about all precautions Fabio and Elisa did for us. We felt save and we could relax without thinking at Corona. Therefore, we had a very good and relaxing week at Al melo.
Due to the current situation, we used the time to relax without doing trips in the surrounding. And actually, we have already visited Firenze, Lucca, Pisa and Siena in former times. Next time we will do a bike and wine tour 😊.
We have been to the restaurant La Capannina at Roggio and enjoyed a 4-course dinner. It was delicious and for a fair price.
There is a supermarket and a grocery store at Camporgiano, both very well stocked.
Thanks to Elisa and Fabio and Lorraine for everything!
