    Liz is an excellent host! She is kind, friendly and helpful. The property and accommodation is in a lovely, quiet street. The garden is immaculate and peaceful, the room has all the conveniences that you need. The extra personal touches make the experience of staying at Villa Puccini even more memorable. The breakfast setting in the garden is lovely and the breakfast offering is fresh and tasty.

    We stayed three nights with Liz and Carlo. I don.t say Villa Puccini, because they give you a warm welcome, they are always available when you need some advice like restaurants, interesting places to go and above all Liz and Carlo are extremely kind and gentle. Always in for a talk, if necessary with a grappa. The house and the rooms are beautiful, very quiet at night, and the description on their website and booking is correct. This is one of the first places in our lifelong travelling that felt so beautiful and Liz and Carlo felt like friends we knew for years. So warm, so kind, so beautiful. This is the reason why we like travel, meeting people like Liz and Carlo. On the practical side : breakfast with very fresh ingredients from the garden, very good fruitsalad, evrything you can expect from a continental breakfast. Taste the homemade cookies ! Secure parking on the grounds, quiet neighbourhood, easy access to restaurants. Book it !

    Only negative is that there is no power in the bedrooms during load shedding - although wifi is still available at those times.

    Rooms are very nicely laid out - clean - and the shower is big and has good water pressure. There is a great supply of coffee and tea -and I don't think one would ever run out - or have to ask for more. We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfasts - with the highlight being the fresh fruit salad on both mornings and on Breakfast 1 the fresh squeezed orange juice. The weather was spectacular on both days we were in CTN - and the setting for breakfast on the patio by the pool is beautiful - with birds and squirrels hopping around in the garden. The Puccini's and the cleaning staff are extremely helpful and are always eager to help - although we didn't need much. A nice plus was that the WiFi and Internet access worked during load shedding.
