Villa Tessa was perfect for what we wanted.
The appliances were relatively new. The plumbing, the electric, the kitchen and bathrooms were clean and efficient. Screens on all the windows for those concerned about mosquitoes. Plenty of hot water and good water pressure. The view was extraordinary over the garden and pool out into the hills. No air conditioning: but we didn't need it. Even with temperatures in the 90s Fahrenheit, the evening cooled off nicely with a pleasant breeze and it was very enjoyable to sit outside. Even at the heat of the day the area around the pool was comfortable.
The villa is not as isolated as it may appear. It is located in a little enclave of 4 or so buildings and the little, narrow gravel road had occasional cars and trucks probably servicing local vineyards and olive trees. The villa being close to the road you certainly heard them go by even fairly early in the morning. I do not want to make that sound worse than it was. It certainly did not spoil the stay, just not quite what was expected.
The owner was most gracious and the meal she and her daughters prepared for us was wonderful.
Summer In Italy is great. I have already recommended you to another family. Before and during the trip I always received a very prompt reply to my questions. You have been very helpful. And the selection of possible villas was huge. Something for everyone, for sure.
