Beautiful Location and great pool
We are a family of 4 with two teenage girls (14 and 17) and we really enjoyed our time at this lovely villa. The location is beautiful and remote, on an unmade road, so a low car is not advisable!
The pool is probably one of the best we have had in a villa- stunning view and very clean and a good size for swimming. There are a good range of loungers by the pool as well as parasols for keeping out of the 34 degree heat! There is also a fridge and a sink by the pool that were useful - the pool is below the house so its great to have somewhere to keep cold drinks.
As others have mentioned, the kitchen is very well equipped, but does get hot as there is no a/c in this room - not a problem for us but may be for others. There are mosquito screens on all doors and windows, and we managed to avoid being bitten! The beds were comfortable and all the bedrooms have AC and en suite bathrooms.
Anna is very quick to respond to any questions and provides some good suggestions of what to do in the local area and was very helpful with directions.
As one of the previous reviews mentioned, it is about 25 minutes from the nearest supermarket and the road is very windy up to the villa, so make sure you stock up on supplies when at the supermarket in Masa Marittima. We found the Conad supermarket the best. Masa Marittima is a nice place to visit as well, and there are some good restaurants in the main square
Marissa lives in the separate rear part of the villa, and is very helpful, and although she only speaks Italian - we managed to communicate well! She does have 2 dogs that bark, sometimes early in the morning, which can interrupt the peace and quiet.
Rather oddly, when we first arrived we had only been given 2 bedrooms. However, after a quick call to Anna, Marissa made up a 3rd bedroom for us. This was a little confusing as the VRBO booking confirmation stated that we had booked a 5 bedroom villa. So it’s worth confirming prior to booking what parts of the villa will be accessible to you if you are a small party.
I’d recommend this villa to families looking for a villa in a stunning location with a great pool.
