Lovely villa, really enjoyed our stay. The drive to the villa is very steep and this property isn’t suitable for disabled access but if you have a car it’s perfect
Das Haus ist gemütlich und groß.Die Einrichtung ist hochwertig.
Leider wird es im Herbst(Oktober) auch mit Heizung nicht richtig warm. Der Kamin musste mithelfen. Das Feuerholz zu besorgen war schwierig. Wenn mehr als zwei Personen hintereinander duschen ist das Wasser nicht warm. Einige elektrische Geräte sind in die Jahre gekommen und müssten getauscht werden. Doch insgesamt ist die Lage direkt am Wald toll. Wir waren viel wandern.

Perfect stay
We had a wonderfull time at Villa Il Nido. The view from the garden is amazing, the House pleasantly cool and the pool is small but very nice and perfect for playing. Frederico and his family were very friendly and most helpfull fx Frederico helped me arrange renting a bike in Castelnuovo.
