A little gem by the sea
A thoroughly pleasurable experience from start to end.
The property itself is very lovely, clean and well appointed in a quiet residential area. There is a supermarket and cafe and beach with restaurants within walking distance, although we did hire bikes to get about, which was a lot of fun.
We took a trip into Rome one day, which Simonetta (the villa owner) was very helpful with organising, including sorting out for us to be collected from the local train station by her Gardner, which was much appreciated.
The highlight of our stay was when Maurizio Guerrazzi (& Roberto ) came and taught us how to make and cook pasta, gnocchi, sauces and tiramisu. It was a hands on experience where we learnt lots, ate loads and laughed even more. So much so that they came again on another evening to prepare homemade pizza and fritta for us. This is a MUST DO experience if you’re staying in this area, they were such lovely people who made the whole experience such a fabulous memory.
All in all we’ve had a fabulous stay where the host couldn’t do enough for us.
