Casa Lavanda is a stunning house, in a stunning location. The owners make you feel most welcome.
We stayed in this magnificent renovated farmhouse in August 2016. As a family of 5, including 2 teenagers, we were keen to rent a place with internet and a private swimming pool. The owners of Casa Lavanda have really focussed on the holiday experience and their attention to detail made the week that we stayed a total pleasure. The house looks across a valley to impressive hills and it was clear to see why the owners had purchased this place. Access to the house was arranged ahead of the rental and was exactly as agreed. Upon entering the house, the accommodation is immaculate and to a very high standard. The kitchen had everything that you could need and we had the bonus of a welcome pack gifted by the owner. The house and surrounding area were spotlessly clean. We had tables to provide indoor or outdoor dining options, with plenty of crockery and cutlery. The fridge/freezer was a good size for our family of five. Inside the house everything worked perfectly. There was a TV lounge with a selection of DVDs available, and the internet delivered 3.5Mb download without any failures during our stay, and the children made sure that it was well used for the week. We had no power outages during the stay. The pool was cleaned before we arrived and twice during the week of our stay. A selection of inflatables were provided for our use which the children enjoyed immensely. The owners attention to detail made this accommodation stand out. The downstairs windows were secured against bugs using fine mesh. We were able to confidently open the windows without worrying about mosquito invasions. The window shutters could be fully opened, or a small, inner window could be opened if you just wanted a small amount of light. Furnishings were very stylish, music was available, and at no point were we left wishing that something extra had been provided. Both bathrooms were beautifully equipped with great showers in both and a bath in one of them. Towels were high quality and separate towels provided for use by the pool. The owners had thought of everything and we felt like a guest in a well loved home, rather than a holiday rental. My top tips if you are planning to rent this home are: Take an SUV to cope with the challenging road surfaces in the area. Take some travel sickness tablets if you are prone to sickness on winding roads. Take a good insect repellent. Take a drive to the beach at Pescara or Francavilla al Mare. The beach is great & sea is warm.

Haus Top Umgebung schwierig
Das Haus ist wirklich mit viel Liebe eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Auch der Garten mit dem Pool ist schön. Leider liegt das Haus sehr abgelegen. Hat natürlich den Vorteil der absoluten Ruhe. Aber mal schnell zu Fuß oder mit dem Rad einkaufen bzw. Essen gehen ist nicht möglich. Eine Restaurant ist fußläufig erreichbar. Auch Ausflüge zum Wandern werden mit dem Auto zur Abenteuerfahrt. Die Straßen sind oft in einem schlechten Zustand. Aber wie gesagt das Haus ist absolut Top. Auch der Blick von der Terrasse in die Berge und Landschaft traumhaft.

Fantastische plek in een huis wat helemaal perfect is!
Prachtige plek, zeer prettig huis waarin alles goed op orde is. Van heerlijke douches, tot perfect ingerichte keuken en alles daar tussenin! Gewoon echt de wow-factor! Zeer veel dank, we hebben genoten! Als tip, neem wel muskietenspray en anti mug kaars mee, die zijn ook dol op deze mooie plek in augustus!
