En premier lieu un accueil très chaleureux de Pierfausto et de son épouse malgré une arrivée tardive en raison d'un retard de vol. Doublé d'un départ très matinal un dimanche matin, toujours en raison de l'horaire du vol et toujours avec le sourire et la bienveillance de nos hôtes qui nous ont offert des pâtisseries. Bref des propriétaires très accueillants, sympathiques et réactifs à toutes nos demandes. La villa est très bien agencée et décorée avec goût. Il ne manque rien pour passer un très bon moment. Le jardin est magnifique ! La piscine est de bonne taille mais la saison ne nous a malheureusement pas permis d'en profiter... Bref, je recommande vivement cette location !
