Beautiful and peaceful
It's been an absolute pleasure to stay at Casa in Legno. A beautiful, peaceful location with amazing views that constantly change with the light.
The house is clean and tidy with a homely feel to it. There is plenty of shade and seating options on the terrace and Cynthia's balcony is an amazing place to relax in the evening whilst watching the hilltop villages and the houses in the valley below twinkle in the night sky.
The kitchen is very well equipped and only let down by the lack of a decent sharp knife and some of the pans.
The bedrooms are spacious and the beds very comfortable but frustratingly storage is limited due to the wardrobe and drawers already being mostly full.
The pool seems to have been repainted and whatever was used has not adhered to the walls and bottom and is blistering and peeling off. Although it was looking a bit tired it was very warm and cleaned regularly by David and we spent many happy hours in and beside it.
The track up to the house although steep and a little bumpy in places is fine if you take it slowly, even our little Lancia Ypsilon made it comfortably even though it couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding.
It is well worth an evening stroll down to the Agriturismo L'Uliveto for great food and hospitality.
Further down the road is De Vitis Maria Domenica’s or Maria's which is a friendly treasure trove of basics plus a lot more.
