La Perla Del Golfo With Stunning View - Happy Rentals

The property is well located, 5 minutes drive to Marinella and roughly 10 minutes to Golfo Aranci and Porto Rotondo. There is a free parking space and it is also possible to walk 30-40 minutes downhill to Marinella. There is an Osteria and cafe even closer. The views from the property are wonderful over the bay and the outdoor area has a coal grill and lovely garden. There is plenty of space to sit outside over two levels to enjoy the view and the garden. There is enough space for a large family and plenty of bathrooms (5 in total). The kitchen is equipped with plates and cutlery, full sized fridge and a dishwasher. There is air conditioning in the main house bedrooms.

There was no mention in the description that two of the rooms are separated from the main building down sets of stairs. These rooms both have no air conditioning and the heat gets trapped even with open windows and the lowest room (single) doesn’t have a window. It was too hot to sleep in high season summer. The bathrooms smell when you use any water. There were also signs of mould in the showers. The toilet seat covers don’t fit on the toilet properly. The rooms were not particularly clean, in particularly the bathrooms. There was only a single thin sheet covering the mattress and no mattress protector or similar. The kitchen is small for the number of people the house holds. A friendly gardener comes at 7-8 in the morning to water the plants (which is good) but we were not informed about this. We accidentally locked ourselves out of the house on the first evening (the shutters to the main house lock automatically on closing) and it was hard to contact the company to let us back in. Once we reached them we were told they didn’t have a solution right now and we should have been more careful. In the end we broke in using a thin card by ourselves. Overall for the price this house has space for many people but it doesn’t give value for money.
