Villa with sea view pool

10/10 Excellent
"Pietro and Maria were gracious and attentive hosts. While they live on the same property in a separate residence they were not in any way intrusive. The house is extremely well equipped with dishwasher, washing machine and tons of amenities. There is a wall air conditioning unit on each floor. While there are some hotspots, the house was very comfortable. The private pool is an enormous plus. The house is quite isolated, located on a mountain (hill) accessible by narrow windy steep roads, but we got used to it after a few trips up and down. Nearby Amantea has all the shopping, restaurant and beach facilities you could want. We were a multi- generational group of 6 people and we would have no hesitation to return there."
