Villa Gard by Wonderful Italy

It's hard to shower or wash your hair in either of the 2 bathrooms upstairs. There are only 2 small tubs with a handheld sprayer. You have to go downstairs to the stand up shower and for 6 people to wait for 1 shower it's a hassle. I started receiving communication from the management company while I was already traveling which was annoying, I wish it could have all been done prior to my trip. The city tax payment link and the rental agreement were sent once I was already on vacation. Also before we departed from the house we were reminded that we needed to take the trash out and dispose of it near the bins by the ferry, which is not close by as well as wash all dishes. You can walk 25 minutes to get to the town where all the shops and restaurants are but in the heat and with the uphill walking it's brutal. The wifi name and password we were given were incorrect. Thankfully we found a sign in the house with the correct info. However, the connection was spotty. Also the power downstairs was not working starting the night before we departed.

Вернулся в детство .старинная мебель. Интересные книги и вещи. Вид потрясающий с балкона. Есть все́ , что нужно.

До ближайшего супермаркета пешком 30 минут. Больше 3 -4 дней там нечего делать. Но кто любит пассивный отдых, может там задержаться подольше.

Talo sijaitsee rinteessä mäen takana. Meillä koko seurueella oli pyörät vuokrattu liikkumista ajatellen, onnistui todella hyvin! Suosittelen lämpimästi muillekin BikeIt Bellagio -pyöränvuokrausta!

Regarding the period of stay itself, I must note that: • The property is a real pleasure. The villa is beautiful and is in a pastoral location, with a view of the lake, the rooms themselves are spacious and equipped with everything needed. The place is very clean and we enjoyed staying there. • Communication via Wi-Fi - generally very good. • Electrical appliances such as an oven, a fridge, A.C. – OK, also a gas stove – OK • Kitchen equipment: cutlery, plates, glasses, pots, pans, etc. Lots and lots of variety. What we didn't find - cloth kitchen towels, which necessitates massive use of paper towels.. • There is also a laundry machine which we did not use. • TV set – OK One of the magical experiences we had there was at dusk when the fields around the villa were lit up with a magical glow of fireflies, a sight that is not at all routine and to be remembered. Really exciting! In summary, there were seven of us staying in the villa – six adults and a baby. We felt very comfortable and enjoyed our stay.

The experience is divided into two parts: 1) From the date of booking to receiving the key 2) The period of stay itself. In the first period, it was fundamentally difficult to contact the management company. There was no ability to get real-time answers to issues that bothered me and the meaning was unnecessary stress and uncertainty. I tried to contact them via email and WhatsApp and it was not easy. By phone directly or through Booking.com representatives, it caused me to waste valuable time. The method that the management company uses is very uninvolved and they dictate communication with the guest only according to their wishes and timing, which is a shame. Some problems that can and should be improved are: • The lack of parking on the property itself is a point that needs to be emphasized. One can park on the street near the villa, as it is physically possible, but I don't know how legal it is in terms of local authority laws (perhaps parking is limited to permit holders, etc.). The property itself is up a hill and parking in the public parking lot located a few hundred meters from the villa is a substantial difficulty. As mentioned, we parked on the street next to the villa. • The water pressure in the villa is insufficient. On the entrance floor it is quite weak and on the second floor it is insufficient. Washing your hair is quite challenging. So, it turned out that we all had to shower in the bathroom on the entrance floor when the villa has two more bathrooms on the second floor. • The villa is well equipped for families with small children, toddlers and even babies. In particular, including a baby cot, high chair, etc. The staircase connecting the entrance floor with the second floor has safety equipment (a gate that prevents uncontrolled descent of small children). However, the upper gate in not securely attached and needs improvement. • The entrance door to the villa's courtyard does not lock easily and may require some kind of maintenance.

Enough room for 6 adults. 4 good sized bedrooms. Kitchen functional, cozy living room with a dining table. Beautiful with two terraces of two bedrooms, with a lake view.

There was an invasion of ants in the living room, but with an old trick of spreading ground coffee to their path helped to sort it out immediately.
