Okay cottage and in beautiful setting
I stayed in this cottage for only 2 nights of my 11 night stay because the Wifi didn’t work and Luciano was kind enough to move me to the much nicer cottage next door. This cottage was sort of okay but not great.
The exposed beams of the place are charming. The bed was comfortable and clean. But the skylight above it, which was the only source of light and fresh air, was awkward to open/close.
The bathroom was lovely with a skylight over the shower. But the ceiling is sloped sharply over the toilet - so as a male standing, I had to bend my head while using the toilet (I’m not very tall either) while using the other hand to hold up a toilet seat that kept falling down.
The steepness of the stairs mentioned in the listing was no problem. But the slope of the ceiling is such that one cannot stand straight up near the top of the stairs. You have to bend your head and also turn your body to get off or onto the stairs.
Downstairs has two pretty doors that open onto nice stone terraces. But there is limited natural light in the space which makes the room feel quite sombre except on sunny days.
The partial photo of the kitchen on the listing doesn’t show how small it is. There is very limited counter space and the narrow kitchen floor is raised by 5-6 inches which makes it a little tricky to maneuver on.
The cottage next door is fantastic. It’s brighter, has better stairs, a large, modern kitchen with dishwasher, and a more comfortable living space.
