Riserva del Noce

Where to start?! The villa is incredible and the hosts fantastic. The villa is beautifully decorated, en suites and aircon in each room, stunning pool, beautiful scenery. The kitchen is also a full commercial kitchen so a dream to cook in (or to have caterers cook for you!). Plenty of communal space and lovely indoor / outdoor dining options. The hosts were fantastic and very communicative throughout. We had a problem with our car on the final day and were in a bit of a panic as we needed to get the the airport. Our hosts were fabulous and managed to get a local mechanic out to us, and handle the conversations in Italian on the phone (we don’t speak good Italian). They were also very helpful bringing us water etc as it was hot outside! The three dogs (and some cats) at the property are gorgeous and friendly. We had two young kids and the dogs were great with them. We understand if you don’t like dogs that the hosts can keep the dogs away, but we loved to have the dogs with us, and had plenty of cuddles etc. There were also bees and we had a great experience visiting the bee hives and learning about bee keeping. We also had a catered meal, which was great.
