Loved this property and its peaceful, fairly remote location. The house itself is very well equipped (even a kettle) and tastefully furnished. A dish drying rack would be useful. Very comfortable bed without that awful gap down the middle which exists all too often abroad. Lovely bedlinen and towels, including beach / pool towels. The pool was heavenly and we were not disturbed by anyone coming to skim it, which we would happily have done ourselves if there had been a net. We took the leaves and bugs off by hand when we were in the water. The only issue we had with the pool was the frequency of filtering, which was noisy and seemed to take place when we wanted to sit quietly beside it reading during the day or having a drink in the evening. Perhaps the timer needed tweaking. The grounds are extensive and very private, only spoiled one evening by a gardener who turned up around 7pm and started to strim with a very loud petrol strimmer. I asked him politely if he could come back another evening when we wouldn't be there and he was fine about it. (A lack of any Italian language could have been very difficult both with this and with shopping etc as very few locals spoke English.)

We were disappointed by the eating opportunities, as many places recommended in the property's info folder were closed in late June. Vegetarians beware too - a very disappointing choice everywhere, but for fish eaters it was great. The supermarkets were hard to find and quite empty. It was too hot and too far to walk to restaurants / shops / beaches. The beaches were disappointing, again quite far away and either covered with rows of sunbeds (not to our taste) or very seaweed-covered (the dry stuff which sticks to you). As we were only there for a week we felt we spent too much time trying to find a good place to swim and paddle board. It was nicer to stay by the pool.

Not as easy to find the place as it sounds in the directions, partly because the church is not visible from the road, but once you find it along a dusty track it is almost perfect. I'd go again!
