Verbesserungswürdig: Sauberkeit
Very disappointing description
The property is an old Tuscan farmhouse with a difficult layout and extraordinary number of dangerous stairs. We had no idea that all the bedrooms were accessible only using old steep outdoor staircases that had no handrail. The property listing should make that clear. As a result, our stay was extremely for my husband and I as our group included an 84 year old parent and a toddler. It was a miracle we had no falls.
The property is in dire need of updating. The flooring is largely bare concrete (which feels dirty), including in the bathrooms. We were expecting beautiful antique furniture but most of it looked very mundane and cheap. On the plus side, the beds were comfortable, the bedroom air conditioning units worked well. Fyi The mosquitos were terrible so take repellent.
The outside area and garden is extremely pretty with wild flowers and citrus trees. The pool was unfortunately too cold to swim in and a very long walk from the house, but by mid July is probably warm enough to swim in until the end of August.
The housekeeper and chef are very well meaning and basically competent but nothing special. They do not speak english.
The property description on VRBO is out of date and inaccurate. The pricing needs adjusted dramatically. We were extremely disappointed that our friends all had much better villa rentals at lower prices. We were hoping to host a cocktail party at the house, but switched it to our friends’ villa instead as it was so much nicer.
