Fantastic view and town (but not ideal)
The view from the upper terrace is fantastic: A beautiful sunset in comfortable patio furniture. The location in the medieval castled town is perfect. The villa is next to one of two piazzas, and also is next to the church. Several excellent restaurants are within a 5-10 minute walk. The clean and swimmable Castro marina is a 600 step walk down from the town. The service was the management team was quick and efficient. Items that make the place less than ideal: all the doors are locked inside and out. You must carry the 9 keys at all times, even to get out of the front door. The one bathroom on the main level is very small and the ceiling slopes make using the bidet very difficult to use. The water heater is very small. One shower every 1/2 hour. The steps to the one bedroom on the main level are steep and small. The garbage collector will wake you up at 6:30 am every day but Sunday. The bells from the church will wake up every day at 7:30. Then they ring several times an hour. In Italy you need 6 different garbage containers. The villa has only 3.(Only 2 burners on the stove worked; the terraces haven't been cleaned in quite a while. There are no screens on the main floor doors, but there are screens on the lower doors. The flying insects were very bad. We had to keep the doors and the one window closed at all times. There are 2 TVs, but the repair guy could only get one to work. There's no way to stream to the one TV. The couch is extremely uncomfortable.)
