Overall:
We had a lovely time at the villa. They were very nice and the surroundings were beautiful. Thanks,.
Tips or Restaurants:
We didn't read the description carefully. We thought we were renting a villa, rather than an apartment.

Overall:
The owners of this property are wonderful hosts. They speak perfect English and will help you with directions, reservations, etc. Filippo will also give you a tour of the farm with all the colorful history, a must do!
Enjoyed Most:
There was plenty of space in our apartment and lovely grounds - a pool, terrace and large garden. There is air conditioning, screens on the windows, a stocked refrigerator with breakfast foods, milk, butter, jams, coffee, tea, etc. This reduces the amount of items you have to buy while there.
Unpleasant Surprises:
Nothing!
Surrounding Area:
The property is part of an 1800 acre farm with a castle and church on it. The castle was built in 1100 and the church 867 AD. We were able to visit these which you could not do if not staying at the property.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Monteroni D' Arbia is a 5-minute or less walk. There are two nice restaurants and a couple of pizzerias there. There's also a small grocery store and a larger COOP grocery store, so plenty to choose from.
Check In Out:
We arrived early and there was no problem checking in early.
