Casa pietra
A creatively restored farmhouse, comfortable and stylish. Set in a secluded but not totally isolated very scenic location. It caught both the sun and the breeze and the temperature was always pleasant.
A car absolutely necessary -- supermarket about 10 minutes away by rough road and other destinations better part of an hour though within that there was a good choice of beach, mountains, scenic towns. Convenient to Pescata airport.
The grounds a bit precipitous, steep staircases and drops -- not suitable for toddlers ot adults with mobility problems.
The pool is a circular meter deep plunge pool, perfect for our 6 year old just learning to swim but would be frustrating for an older child and dangerous for a toddler.
The house is well furnished, nice bath/shower rooms and comfortable beds. There is a good supply of English language books and DVDs.
Only criticisms -- the electricity frequently cut out, not adequate for appliances in both accommodations. This is common in Italy however. Some of the kitchen
equipment is tired and should be replaced. Towels also not up to scratch and it would have been good if beach towels were provided.
It was reassuring that the owner is on the site and very ready to help as needed. In fact we scarcely needed to call on him but it was nice that he was available. He was always friendly and helpful.
With these few reservations we would definitely recommend this place to friends wanting a peaceful low key holiday.
