The property is on the hill, where traditional village has been kept in its original state. Amazing place. Very nice people. Far enough from the loud tourists. Difficult to park, in the evening times, when the restaurant guests are parking in the local car park. Make sure you have some fans with you. Necessary during summr temperatures. As this is an old buiding, it smells damp and walls are showing a bit of and this is probable the cause of some insects in the bedding, which bitten us terribly during the night. Kitchen and bathroom in good condition. Two beds, one in the upstairs is a king size bed with a very comfortable mattress and downstairs is a sofa bed, double size, with good firm sleep. Ceiling fan makes a lot of diffence by providing quiet blow with reverse turn setting. On the top floor is an access to the small, shared with another house, sitting and clothes drying area. Useful in the evening times. Beach is within 10 minutes drive. Nice and worm sea provides enough of fun in the water. I am recomending visiting Carrara for food supply and plenty of good restaurants. Vaniglia Pizzeria is the best place to buy a pizza. All locals are getting their food there. Ice creams from Gelateria Rosellini are our favourite. Weekend gigs on the main square are amazing. The best drive (20 minutes) is to Montemarcello village. Views, coffee and the village are amazing.
