Beautiful holiday home, welcoming and helpful owner
La Torre has great character and location. It's a convenient and comfortable base for visiting northern Lazio. It would probably be great just to sit in the garden and read a book all week too! Luca was helpful and friendly without being intrusive, and we enjoyed the fruit he delivered from his garden.
We travelled with our 2.5 year old and it worked very well for us. The kitchen and proximity to local food shops helped a lot. The steep steps and bedrooms on different floors
did not concern us but it may be an issue for other families. Our little one loved the cats, chickens and tortoise. We loved the calm, the decor, the views and the convenience.
Very good
Viterbo is a lovely town steeped in history. Apartment was located in centre. cleaning half way through week. Facilities, e.g. kitchen/ water bottles etc.
No parking near apartment (we were aware of this prior to arriving) however the place that we were told to park resulted in the car being towed on the Saturday morning (the market). We asked Filippo; he assured us it was the best place to park. We were very worried/shocked and were disappointed something so serious was not told to us. It cost us £200 and has put us off returning as we really can't believe this was not said. We also got little sleep as the noise of the outside bar was until 2am.
Relaxing break but there was room for improvement
Prior to staying at the villa we had communication with the owner, who I have to say was always very prompt and helpful. The villa was nice and was clean. However there are a few things to mention that would improve it. It is advertised as having a separate apartment to use with bathroom and kitchenette. This is the case, however the only bed in it was a very small futon which was not made up, so effectively the upstairs was a total wasted space for us. There were essentially 4 spacious rooms with king size beds, the 5th bed was actually in the living area, which was fine for our teenage son but would not have been any good if a couple had been planning on using it. Despite the fact that the villa accommodates 10 people, the outside table where you would wish to have a bbq only accommodates 6 people. The pool area is down a hill from the villa with no pathway to get there...you have to walk on the rough grass down a steep hill which may cause problems for those not so mobile and young children. The lack of air con was not an issue at all, as the location of the villa is quite windy...which was good when relaxing by the pool although some of the family felt that it was quite cold at times. I think the extra charges for the villa are unreasonable eg cleaning and bed linen particularly when you are given instructions on arrival to clean the pool at least twice a week, and you have to take all your rubbish away yourself. The towels and bed linen were not of the highest quality to justify extra payment. Another point to bear in mind, is that the road to the villa is very bad in terms of the surface so we would recommend a 4x4 if you are able to hire one. However all in all we had a lovely week at the villa. We would recommend it to others. The location was excellent. We found some lovely restaurants in nearby Sutri and by Trevignano Romano and Bracciano. The drive to Rome and the airport was easy if you have a good sat nav system.
