We highly recommend this villa for those looking for something different ,spacious and full of character and truly Italian in flair and style we loved it thanks for everything and for letting us enjoy your wonderful villa Joanne Green and family from Australia
We spent our honeymoon her very lavish and spacious for just the 2 of us!!! now we have returned with our friends and children and it is as beautiful as ever spacious romantic unique we hope to keep coming back thanks for everything Jeffry and Mary Starden UK
We loved the space of this gorgeous Italian villa,and enjoyed the susnsets from the terrace, the beach bar at the beginning of the beach had good Italian food and we spent many lunches there, a short stroll from the villa. A car is recommended if you want to see the area and there is plenty to visit we spent the first few days doing the sights and the last few days relaxing in the villa, swimming , walks on the beach and enjoying 'la dolce vita'
Marianne Capacciano and friends California USA
This is our third visit to the villa, it is very large so we are all able to have our own space whether on the balcony or terrace, the kitchen is basic but functional and we eat out at restaurants most of the time or have wonderful easy meals with fresh products tomatoes, mozarella etc on the terrace. It is not the sort of place where you have to be careful of the furniture or contents so you can just put your feet up, infact it feels like coming to visit friends and we feel very at home everytime.
