This is a charming old house among fields with no lift, so be prepared to haul cases up to the second floor, although we did have help when we arrived. The elderly owners greeted us warmly and cooked us a pasta meal with dessert when requested, despite showing us a restaurant menu and ignoring our choices, which was odd. However the food was good and they obviously only cater to visitors these days. Breakfast was continental with cereal, fruit, yoghurt, croissants, brioche or biscuits. Our room was very spacious and clean and the bed was comfy and warm. Nature is all around you here and walking down to the pool after dinner we heard frog song and owls. Swallows have set up many busy nests under the eaves. Sadly the huge pool was not set up for us to use and interestingly, we found crayfish dead on the bottom, perhaps accounted for by recent heavy rains. The grass was not cut for the same reason apparently. We followed the path beyond and found a lovely curve in the river with their own boat dock, Venetian style. We wondered if perhaps the maintenance of such a large place was getting too much for the elderly owners, although they did seem to know what they were doing with communication and payments. Rosa spoke excellent English. The property is hidden away but is close to the end of the runway at Marco Polo airport so planes overhead are very loud, although they did stop at night. With a lift from the owners to the airport, it worked well for our overnight and flight home.
