Hervorragend 5 ^/5   Hausbewertung im Detail

We rented this property sight unseen and were not disappointed! The house was exactly as the pictures described. Lots of room, good beds, great pool and outside areas. The view was beautiful and the location very quiet, lots of room for parking for at least 2 cars. The only down side was a slight sewer smell around the pool, though as we traveled in Italy we noticed this several places, maybe it is just that way in certain areas. The yard and garden are large and well kept, even had several herb plants, sage, oregano, rosemary and thyme! we made use of those when we made dinners! Our pool was cleaned twice during our stay. Maybe under the outside sitting area there could be stones, the ground was muddy every day due to the sprinklers came on during the night. Checking in was ok, thanks to Sofia who spoke very good English, this is very important to foreign guests. Sofia also helped making dinner reservations for us, not every place speaks English, was quite frustrating at times. Greve is a beautiful town and we enjoyed the short walk from the house to the plaza, restaurants and shops. It was very easy to get around, and especially nice not to have drive to the shops if we needed anything. The Coop in the center of town has everything you need, also there are lots of wine shops in the center, also small shops that sell lots of things. We enjoyed our croissant and cappuccino every day in the square. We enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend this house highly to others. We will be back!

Pros: The villa was a great retreat on the outskirts of town. We truly enjoyed ourselves in the lovely town of Greve. A short walk into town will bring you to all the shops and restaurants that you will need. I would definitely stay here again. We loved the wine, food, and the people of Greve.
Cons: It is worth noting that the hill up to the villa is of considerable ascent for those of you that have mobility issues. I would estimate a range of about 20 - 40 degrees of uphill grade for the entire trip to the villa. It wasn’t too much of an issue for us, but it is worth noting for the walks into town and back. Another note is that the washing machine and the dryer are rather small. We only had two couples and we felt like we were doing laundry everyday. Lastly, the only disappointment that we had was that some of the amenities are at the main office only. For example, the Internet connection. Unlike the listing, there is no Internet connection at the villa. It is at the main office. All business, check-in, check-out, internet usage, etc. needed to be completed at the main office, which is all the way across town and it operates on Italy time, so it is not always open. We are tech savvy, so to complete our daily vacation blog, we had to make time to venture over to the office to get online and this was one of our few requirements and largest disappointment with the villa. We felt mislead despite emails confirming the availability of an internet connection.
Like I said, I would definitely stay here again, but I would know going in that there is no Internet at the Villa.
