Nestled deep in a pine forest, the house is a real gem. It's spacious, light and very well-equipped, especially in the kitchen. The garden is gorgeous, beautifully designed with a hammock, comfortable upholstered sofas and several dining areas. The gated community has many house, but most aren't visible from the roads. The beach is private and very wide, no rows of chairs and umbrellas like most Italian beaches, and there's a dedicated shaded area with sun loungers specifically for our use. The 2 new bathrooms with showers were a real plus. There are lots of bars and restaurants within a few kilometres, but nothing within walking distance. Most visitors are Italian -- we only heard English spoken once! Mr. Fraschetti couldn't have been more attentive or helpful. I'll be coming back.
