Home truths
The second bedroom has the bathtub and sink directly in the room, so there's little privacy. This room and bedroom three share a separate bathroom with a shower.
The swimming pool is only open from the last Saturday of April until the first Saturday of October. It's not fenced, so children must be watched at all times.
Air conditioning is only available in the bedrooms.
Your host can provide a free cot on request.
Due to the location, we highly suggest hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There's private parking space here for two cars.
You may not find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started. The nearest supermarket is in Trappitello, 1km away.
