    Great villa with few apartments to stay with family or friends. Nice and quiet, close to the beach.

    WIFI is an entire disaster, I was unable to open or watch anything online with this very slow connection. The game room has only very basic equipment but can be a bit better if getting a set of rackets costs 10€ so can enjoy the game.

    The swimming pool was perfect, the kitchen was nice but missing some equipment that would be nice to have.

    the location was good for exploring nearby areas by car but the walk into Donnalucata was along a busy road so not ideal with kids.

    immaculately kept property and pool was equipped with all we needed for a great family holiday. staff were really helpful. shutters meant we all slept brilliantly and even got a lie in!

    The furniture on the balcony was only wooden table and chairs, it would have been nice to have something a bit comfier. We did ask for a sun lounger and 1 got delivered.

    The property grounds were amazing! Lovely garden and brilliant pool, all kept in very good condition. The apartment was very clean and the balcony was large with great views. Hosts were very friendly and helpful throughout the entire stay. Air con was very much appreciated!!

    The only two very minor things i didnt like were the kettle-needs to be changed. It doesnt have an off switch; it's very small and it trips the electricity of the entire villette when used with other appliances. The bed corner sticks out quite a bit and we bumped our knees quite badly a few times since the rooms are not large. But the beds are very comfortable and a very decent size.

    The property was the perfect size for our 2 small families (x2 couples + 3kids under 5yrs). We simply loved the garden surrounding the property and the terrace in front of the living area. The fact that it was at ground floor level was very convenient for us with young kids. It's super safe and properly gated. Car access is perfect and incredibly convenient. Pool area is gorgeous! Everything was SO CLEAN!! very well kept. Hosts were incredibly helpful and nice. Property is just up the road from the towns centre and beach. Can't recommend enough 👌👌💯

    ok, has the potential to be way better (dealbreaker : hot water).

    - Major hot water \ water pressure issues - the entire apartment (it would seem it is the same for all of their apartments) is dependent on a tiny water heater with the capacity of a cooking pot. We had to wait about 30 min between showers for the water to re-heat, which is ridiculous. At one point the water heater just broke and as it could not have been fixed we were given a key to go shower in another apartment (which had the same tiny water heater). - The sea is close but the nice beaches \ restaurants are not a walking distance away, so most of the time to do anything else than going to the pool (when not to cold) or walking to the village grocery store - everything requires a car. - The pool was open but it is not heated or covered so it was not usable most of the time (we where there in mid May and it was to cold). - The place is clean, and pretty new, but very very basic. everything (furniture, appliances, etc) is cheep quality, and the kitchen is poorly equipped. (not even a proper knife for cooking). - All of the staff speaks only Italian so all communication is with google translate [we are fluent in several languages, so it's not only about english hehe] . (but they are nice and make an effort) - They asked us to fill in extra registration details even though we already paid on booking when doing the check-in (such as our fiscal number for example, which we refused to give), as it seemed quite strange and intrusive. - The place is adjacent to a pretty active road (main road leading to the nearby village), so the peace and quite is interrupted quite often by passing cars.

    - An employee greeted us on arrival and gave us an explanation. She was very nice. (even though she spoke only Italian and communication was complicated) - Bed was alright (especially compared to other similarly priced bnbs). - There was kind of a see view from the side of the balcony, but not at all as described in the website or on the photos. - The village near by was very useful and was accessible by car or on foot (10-15 min walk) - The village, donnalucata, is very authentic (aka super simple, not so tourist oriented) and has several coffees, 3 grocery stores, and a bakery the makes local pastries. (and an arancini shop of-course). - The area in general was very quiet and peaceful, slightly off the beaten path (especially at off\half-season)

    Appartment Location next to a busy and noisy main road that was like a rubbish tip. The pool whilst immaculate lacked character, more like a public swimming pool than a holiday appartment pool and the road noise didnt make for a relaxing environment. The balcony whilst spacious had no proper privacy from the next appartment. Just a slatted wood fence. For the last few days of our holiday we had a large noisy family next to us that showed no respect to us as neighbours. This meant we were unable to use our balcony Cleaning service was offered at an extra price which we declined however no cleans bedding or towels were received during our stay

    Communication was very good across the board. We were met by Maria Rosa who was lovely and very helpful even though we had language issues. Facilities were generally ok but lacking in some areas ie no kettle and just a tiny one shot espresso maker

    Disappointing

    Unfortunately, there was a problem with the pipes in our apartment, which was not fixed during our stay, even though we went to talk several times! We had no sleep for 3 days and our vacation was ruined because of this. A swimming pool in the garden which is too small for such a number of visitors. The internet connection has not been fixed either, although several visitors have written about it in previous years!

    The apartment was spacious and clean. A nice little garden and a big balcony where it was nice to sit in the evening. The kitchen had all the necessary supplies for cooking.

    A request on the day of arrival to have a ventilator (fan) didn't materialise. The apartment doesn't have adequate electrical supply. We couldn't use the oven and washing machine at the same time, or the oven and the only AC unit in the apartment. The electricity tripped several times, with the discomfort of going down/up two floors to reset the main electrical switchboard. The entire pool is very shallow. I am not sure if this detail was listed in the description. If I had noticed it before, we wouldn't have opted for this accommodation.

    The apartment was very clean on arrival, and the information given was useful. The top apartment enjoys views from a massive terrace, where we took daily breakfasts and dinners.
