Il Marchese del Grillo (SEC100)

Negative points: - No internet connection while this was indicated when booking. - No water for 24 hours because the bill was not paid. - Furniture is not comfortable. Especially the outdoor furniture is old and worn. No good relaxation options. - Little lighting in the kitchen. - Beautiful house, garden and pool

Nice house where it is good to stay. Would be nice if on the day of arrival some washing up liquid and, for example, a few dishwasher cubes and a dish cloth are present. The next day you can do your shopping in peace.

Lots of space in and outside the house, nice pool, complex well maintained. Furnishings are rustic and pretty to look at. Unfortunately, the closets smelled a bit musty, so we didn't put our clothes in them. Kitchen equipment could be better, pots/pans pretty basic, we bought our own chopping boards. However, plenty of cutlery and crockery available. We had great 14 days almost exclusively - as planned - within the property.

The cottage was very nice and the pool was great! We can highly recommend this accommodation!

The house is very clean and well maintained, personally and tastefully furnished. The property is very spacious and the pool is huge for a private house, beautifully laid out and also very well maintained. Lots of wasps and bees by the pool!! The caretaker is very friendly, but only speaks Italian. The property is basically also great for dogs, as it is completely fenced. However, you have to know that the gardener comes almost daily unannounced and also in the evening sometimes in the dark through a secluded garden gate to water.Since the property cannot be seen to a large extent from the terrace, we personally found it unpleasant that suddenly someone emerged in realty & in the dark. Especially if you are traveling with a dog, you should know this. We have put our dog (an actually gentle Golden Retriever) on a leash at the house in the evenings over the past few days because he reacted increasingly angrily to the "surprise visits" and stormed away barking. It would be better if there were a fixed time when the gardener is on site. Otherwise we felt very comfortable in the house.

Each room was lovingly but also conveniently furnished. The outdoor facilities (pool terraces - among other things) were constantly maintained. The key managers (caretaker couple) took great care of us. All in all a successful holiday week. Great!!!
