This house is as beautiful as the pictures. Lucia is lovely, attentive and a pleasure to interact with. The house is spacious and fun to explore. There are actually 6 bedrooms available, not 5 as the listing suggests. The views are amazing and the atmosphere is quiet and relaxing. There were ALOT of mosquitos, which is because of the location and time of year, and not the fault of the owner, obviously and not an issue inside the house. The pool was available into late September, but it was a little chilly for us.
Most of the house is clean and well equipped. There is a washing machine, but no dryer, which is probably normal for Italy. There are many areas of the house that would be amazing if they were completed or updated. I have seen this on other reviews, so it seems that it is not the intention of the owner to pursue finishing these areas. I kept imagining the house completed like being a dream house with a ballroom and secret passageways! Even without them, the house was very cool to stay in. The ONLY reason we gave the house 4 stars instead of 5 was the bathrooms. All 4 showers were about 2' x 2'. It was very difficult to move in them without hitting the temperature controls and the water being too hot or too cold. As an American, I don't know if this is also normal for Italy. Overall, the house was comfortable and relaxing and we would stay here again if we planned another vacation of this kind.
