Lo Chalet dell'Artista

self check-in

a bit late communication from the host but at the end everything was smooth and well organized

It was pretty

It was cold and there was no hand soap

The location was quiet and very close to the Puccini Museum and Theatre, which was the main reason for our visit to Torre Del Largo. It's 10 minutes from the station and approx 45 minutes walk to the beach. The property itself was very clean and comfortable and the association with the artist Serfino Beconi was a big plus for us (even the gate is a work of art). The host, Ilaria was very friendly and helpful, even though we never met, and provided all the information we needed.

The kitchen was a very small space with virtually no working surface and the sink was very wide and shallow. Perhaps a board could be provided to give some temporary work space over half of the sink - but something would need to be done about the water splashing from the tap.

I originally booked this bungalow as a solo traveller but had two friends who joined me last minute. Given that it was a one bed house, the host managed to accommodate my friends ensuring we had a bed each and it was comfortable. The garden and outside space was a welcomed relief from city life. Thank you Ilaria!

A lot of space.

No warm water. Just cold or hot. If Your hair is long, You will hardly wash it also due to low water pressure. No working wifi. Only small coffee machine.

Very easy and convenient. My flight was unfortunately quite late but the owner stayed in touch and gave me clear directions for collecting the keys when they had to leave for work before my arrival. The beds were clean and comfy and the chalet was very convenient for the expo centre I was visiting that weekend. Nice private parking right by the chalet. Excellent value for money and lovely country cottage feel. Definitely would stay here again.

The only thing which could be improved on is the water pressure in the shower and I appreciate that is not easy to change as depends on general water supply etc to the area as well.

As a family (mum and 3 children), we found this property just perfect for day trips to Pisa, Cinque Terre, Volterra, Siena etc (by car). It has a rustic feel that really brings back simplicity in life. We very much enjoyed the space. The property was clean and welcoming and I felt very safe with my children. Illaria is also a SUPERHOST, that makes sure you are comfortable at all times and goes above and beyond. We would gladly come back.

Nothing major- just a bit of a stumble with weak WiFi during our stay. We did have several days of bad weather, so we wondered if it could have affected the WiFi bandwidth (sadly none of our devices got stable connection in the bedroom). Illaria was as helpful as she possibly could be in the given moment.
