We had a wonderful stay at Villa Lavidona and would definitely recommend it, especially for families. The house was exactly as described, if not slightly better, and everything was clean and well kept. Check-in was very smooth despite our late arrival, and the host was extremely communicative, helpful and friendly throughout. The pool was excellent and the views from the house are beautiful. The location on the hill is part of the charm, but be aware that the final drive up is on narrow gravel roads. The air conditioning worked well once we understood the different controls, but a short manual would have been useful. WiFi was weak, likely due to poor mobile coverage in the area, so plan accordingly if you need reliable internet for work. Overall, a great stay and a strong five-star experience.
