"Pros: New and clean apartment with a terrace with a beautiful view on the hills, village and sea. Bedrooms have airconditioning with a really silent setting for the night. The balcony on the other side (entry) of the house is mostly in the shade of the house, but that is also ok. Showers are clean and seem relatively new. In the village are a small supermarket (approximately 300m) and a fine child-friendly restaurant (approximately 600m). Closest beach is about 7km down the hill, from there are 10's of beaches in a 30 km range. Cities like Livorno and Pisa are easy reachable and offer good programmes for one or two days of trips. The host is friendly and helpful. Tips are offered, check-in and check-out are easy. We were allowed to use the washing machine after asking. Cons: Whereas there was a lot of good, the devil is in the detail. As there is just a kitchenette, there is no real place for food, preparation or dishwashing. Also worth mentioning: the kitchenette is accessible through the bedroom which also is the entry to the main terrace. In our case as a family of 5: the kids room was the main traffic room, which is quite bad for easy evenings. Another issue: the kitchenette is so small, the fridge is also placed in the bedroom annex living room, where the kids sleep. Glasses and cups were mainly from plastic, which decreased the limited kitchen experience even further. The coffee maker is small (we got a second one on request), no water cooker was available for tea or cafe Americano. Whereas the look from the terrace is great, a silent breakfast or evening is not possible. The split unit of the airconditioning is placed on the terrace, causing hot air and annoying sound. Of course, this is gone when switching it off, but then the bedroom of the kids heats up. A bit disadvantageous. Generally: we booked a three room apartment. At arrival there were only two rooms: one master bedroom (double bed) and a bedroom (double bed + foldable bed) annex living with access to the kitchenette. The renter did offer his private kitchen annex living as compensation. Whereas this was nice, the process took a few days and did only partly solve our pains. Nonetheless, 100% credit for the effort." ~Maarten
