  Perfect get away! Remote, 10 min drive down a hair raising road to the nearest cafe/ shop so come prepared!

  The house was very clean and in a lovely location with incredible views!

  To get to the house is a hair raising single track road through the woods with no space for error! As it was in woodlands, the mosquitos were relentless and we all left with our bodies covered in bites despite using spray used in the jungle! There was no aircon but there were fans in the bedrooms but you could not open a window because of the bugs so it just moved air… the fridge was also not closing properly so drinks did not really get cold. As it’s a very remote location, a welcome basket would have been nice, and also a general where to go, what to do etc would be good. We needed some medical care and although google is good, local knowledge would have been better. We were a party of 7 adults and we all loved the holiday! The pool is small but perfect for a dip and cooldown! The beds were comfy and there was plenty of space to find a quiet corner to sit. One of the bathrooms has a glass wall between the bedroom so definitely for family sharing! It also got blocked and we needed to buy drain cleaner as the tray kept flooding. This did not spoil the holiday and an easy fix.

  Ideaal voor groot gezin

  Heerlijk sauna en locatie met veel kamers en ruimtes

  De keuken is uitermate slecht uitgerust: geen goede messen, schalen, snijplanken etc

  Pobyt sme si užili, bolo to niečo iné, niečo nové… vhodne pre tých, ktorí hľadajú pokoj a ticho… tu to nájdu.

  Ticho, nádherné výhľady, atmosféra miesta a malej dedinky boli očarujúce . Veľmi vhod nám padla po večeroch sauna- nakoľko sme boli na prelome septembra a októbra, bazén sme využili na otužovanie - bolo to skvelé. Monia s manželom boli veľmi nápomocní 😊- pre nich 10 z 10

  Dom je už starší, a je s tým potrebné rátať. Elektrické radiátory sme už večer používali, ale aj tak bolo v dome ráno chladno- je to veľký dom. Do Riola vedú dve cesty- odporúčame tú dlhšiu, bola bezpečnejšia 😊

  A beautiful place that is poorly kept

  We really enjoyed the view, hills, the bell tower and wine grape dinning area outside of the house.

  The property was utterly dirty: spider webs under the sealing, doors around the door handles, curtains and surroundings were not clean. One of the vases outside were full of cigaret butts, some of those were found on the yard at the swimming pool. We had a feeling that everything is a bit broken at the property. The coffee machine handle was torn off; a sliding door in one of the toilets were broken, so we couldn’t close it; sauna door was missing a rubber isolation, so you can’t heat it up properly; the curtain in one of the rooms were unglued and was laying on the floor when we arrived; we can’t open a balcony door, since it was broken; plaster and paint on the walls in some of the rooms fall off. Some of things and dirt were cleaned after our complaint. Thanks for that. The kitchen is not equipped with a dishwasher, so when you have 8 people constantly at the property it is just an endless loop of dish washing. There was no single wine glass or wine opener, so we had to bring our own glasses. There was no soap, gel or shampoo provided. Since the villa is so remote it was really quite a trouble, since we didn’t have basic essentials even for washing our hands. The cherry on the cake was garbage disposal. The garbage collection happens in a schedule meaning certain type of garbage is collected in a certain day. We are coming from Europe and in general accustomed to garbage sorting, but apparently in Italy it is brought to another level. The owners never clearly explain which bags we need to use. If trash is put to a wrong bag and a wrong container your garbage will not be disposed. So over two weeks we didn’t have any chance to dispose most of the garbage. We asked for help from the owners saying that seemingly the services didn’t collect our garbage because we did smth wrong or because they never arrived, which I suspect could be the case.
