“Beautiful property, but unwelcoming owner.”
We stayed in one of the larger villas and enjoyed a very pleasant stay. All rooms were spacious with excellent air conditioning, the water pressure was great and consistently hot, and the villa was exceptionally clean. The grounds were beautiful, with green lawns, mature olive and carob trees, and a peaceful atmosphere. The property was well maintained and clearly cared for, making it a lovely place offering comfort, space, and beautiful surroundings. The only issue was the owner’s stern, unwelcoming attitude; even a simple greeting required us to look directly at him and say hello before he responded. Worse, the property advertises itself as pet‑friendly, yet the owner repeatedly called our dog “grande, grande” in an unpleasant tone, claiming that in Italy pet‑friendly means medium‑sized dogs. Our quiet, well‑behaved female Labrador caused no trouble, so it was disappointing to feel uneasy about bringing a dog to a place marketed as pet‑friendly with no prior size restrictions. A warmer welcome from the owner would have made the experience better; this was the sole drawback to an otherwise lovely property.
