We went a group of good friends all with young children. There were a total of 4 families consisting of 8 adults and 9 children with the ages from under 1 to 7. All of the information provided by the owner prior to making the booking was great - answered all the questions we had and went out of their way to sort out any extras or requests we had such as extra high chairs, travel cots and providing some catering on site. So with this information and the photos and details of the property we went ahead and booked. We had an excellent week and everyone loved it. The Villa was in an idyllic rural setting with views over the valley and surrounded by countryside with a great pool and very good size and quality accommodation. Although in a rural setting, it was still only 30 minutes or so from Ancoda airport, and nearby shops for supplies or restaurants were only 10 minutes or so by car, and the nearest beach was about 45 minutes away. The accommodation itself suited us very well. The villa was in really good condition and clean. It had lots of nice old character features such as big oak beams in the bedrooms but with modern decoration and with good quality fittings and facilities throughout. The large kitchen area was particularly good for cooking, eating and entertaining and opening out to the great outside space on either side for doing the same. The pool was a bit hit with the children. It was a good size and had steps down into the shallow end at one end of the pool which was particularly useful for the youngest kids. It also was a great place to sunbathe and take in the views... The other big hit was the outdoor traditional pizza oven. We brought pizza dough from a local pizzeria and then all the children made pizzas and the adults tried not to burn them too much! The owner and local lady who looks after the property also arranged for some local cooks to cook a couple of meals in the villa whilst we were there. I would really recommend this - really nice to have a locally prepared meal in the villa for the adults once the children were all soundly asleep! We went for a 'regional supper' which was a great mix of traditional food and another night we went for a mix of pasta dishes. Both were very good So all in all, I’d highly recommend Villa Sasso. We found the environment, the accommodation and the area all great, and would very much consider coming back again
