Out of the way place near Alvito
We enjoyed spending a week here. The place was charming and definitely tucked away down a quiet street surrounded by mountains. Our host Maria was easy to contact. We only met her once as she was mostly out of town when we were there but she was gracious enough to let us see the 4 alpacas up close and feed them.
The apartment is 2 stories with the bedroom and bathroom upstairs. Comfortable enough. Downstairs had the kitchen area and a couch tucked under the stairs. Everything was fine for our stay. Only recommendations/comments for future guests to know is:
1. The stairs creak quite loudly when walking on them. This would really only be an issue if someone was sleeping and another was using the stairs. Maybe some corkboard or something would help dampen the noise.
2. There is a street light just outside the entrance area that stays on all night. Id recommend to guests to bring an eyemask if a light sleeper. There is a curtain but its light material. We used a blanket to help cover up the window bit maybe a black out cirtain would be better for this.
3. Unfortunately we had a bunch of rain during our stay and therefore kept windows closed which made the inside a bit stuffy. Only the kitchen window had a screen to keep bugs away. Additional screens for the other windows of possible would be a great addition.
The place is quiet which is great but you will need a car to get to anyplace. Alvito is the closest town about a 5 min drive away. Many great small villages in the area.
