beautiful and fully furnished house, garden and swimming pool quiet environment fantastic view very clean good and fast contact with the landlord
Despite the fact that the owner indicated in response to a previous review that there were no insects in the house, we were also very badly pricked by mosquitoes. Or maybe these mosquitoes only sting the Dutch :) As suggested in the previous review, I would like to explain all the light switches. For example, in search of light, we turned off the refrigerator with a switch. As a suggestion, maybe also an umbrella so you can sit outside at one of the 2 tables during the day when there is a lot of sun.
Jessica is a very sweet, helpful host and the house was very clean and fresh on arrival. Really very nice. The terrace of the house is really fantastic with an amazing view. Lovely to stay there, including a nice pool. The kitchen equipment was very complete. There is also a barbecue and a pizza oven. The house is located about 10 km north of La Spezia, in the hills. The road to it is in good condition. It's good that the house has a washing machine.
This house in the warm month of July is quite a challenge! The house has a winter garden without any protection from the sun. Suffocatingly hot. This conservatory serves as a living and dining room and simply cannot be used due to the heat. If you prefer to sit inside because of the wasps and mosquitoes and cannot get into the living room, this becomes difficult. We do not understand why there is no air conditioning, no screens, no fans, no mosquito nets in the house. (After all, without screens, you won't be able to cool the house in the evening without mosquitoes.) Finally, remember that this is not a suitable place for people with disabilities due to the very low ceiling of the stairwell. We, like the tall Dutch, also did not climb through several doors. Lying down for a week isn't fun.
The location is fantastic with almost panoramic views of all the mountain peaks. Plenty of seating in the garden - we were there as a family of 3 generations. Very quiet and very well equipped. The massage jet pool is amazing!
The dishwasher does not wash cleanly - had to be washed by hand. But it will definitely be fixed. Each room has many switches that we were only able to identify for two weeks. You might want to turn on the shower light and instead ring the doorbell on the lower floor. We did not find the button for the light on the terrace to the end. A description would be very helpful.
Jessica was an exceptional hostess, approachable and helpful. Very attentive and small welcome gifts. She also took care of the reservations for all of our restaurants and beaches. And his own vegetables, olive oil and honey are delicious. The linens are very good, we really need them. Moreover, the place is calm and peaceful, which is what we were looking for. The view is just gorgeous. Thanks again.
The lighting in the rooms was inadequate for some. I'm sorry about the lack of mirrors in the bedrooms.
EVERYTHING was just great.
