Gut: Sauberkeit, Check-in und Kommunikation
Good house in the country - but a little remote
First the good stuff - plenty of room with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. The owners are tremendously responsive with helpful hints, resolutions to problems (there was a plumbing issue and a few mice), they even made haircut appointments for my husband and I - and they were wonderful haircuts!! It's also a central location to explore both Umbrian and Tuscan cities/towns, etc. We found a lot of things to do between the owner's handbook and our use of Internet services. And the pool is lovely - my husband used it for laps throughout our visit - only interrupted by flies diving in too. Gasoline and groceries were close by in Trestina.
A couple of things we were unprepared for - the house is very much in the country - up an unpaved single lane road and a bit of a hillside climb. We thought we would be walking distance from the closest town (Petrelle), but it was a drive. Plus the bugs were so bad, you wouldn't want to walk the roads. We weren't prepared for the bugs - flies during all of August and September and mosquitoes during all of our 2 month visit. We went through almost two cans of bug spray. That somewhat limited our use of the outside, but no big deal.
Finally - we loved getting to "somewhat" know Giovanna and her husband, as they were our onsite contacts. They don't know any English, but once we got used to Google Translate, we all got our issues across. She was wonderful and we really enjoyed the meals we purchased from her - lasagna and cannelloni.
