We had one of our best holidays of recent years in Orazio's lovely villa. The pictures don't really do it justice - the house is very spacious, well laid out and with absolutely everything you could need. The house is secluded and peaceful although it's also very easy to get to and the local towns are delightful - not at all spoilt by tourism. We were made to feel so welcome by Orazio, a wonderful host.

The pool is absolutely fantastic - a little shade at each end morning and evening but very sunny for most of the day. Just a step from the house which makes it very easy to access and relax in. The gardens though are really wonderful- Orazio told us that they were the result of 20 years work and it really shows. We loved listening to the breeze in the trees in the evenings, watching bats swoop down to drink from the pool.

We've been going to Italy for summer holidays for 15 years or so now and this is one of very few villas we'd like to return to.
