Agriturismo Porta Al Colle

The garden was full of trees, aromatic plants, and tasty fruit that Massimo let us pick. We loved the peaceful setting, and the pool was gorgeous. At different times of day we had it all to ourselves, which made for real relaxation. The apartment was just as described and had everything we needed. Outside, there were loungers and a barbecue on the veranda. Simona gave us the apartment near the cow pen after hearing how much my brother loves animals. Whenever we heard them passing, we went out to watch. And there was absolutely no smell. Massimo was kind and helpful throughout. Mosquitoes were the one bit of bad luck, but we'd brought what we needed and could still enjoy being outside. They even let us leave our luggage so we could spend our last day at the beach. The location was great for exploring the local beaches. The sky was full of stars, just wonderful. We'll definitely come back! And a special mention for Dante, who tried so hard to win over our Bonnie! 😂❤️

Mrs. Simona said she expected a review from me, but I've never spoken with her, and nobody introduced us. I also never complained about children's beds, since we don't have any, so I think she's mistaken about who I am. I wasn't expecting a hotel, just a bit of cleanliness. Please don't judge people you don't know. Thank you. P.S. About the double room mattress, Mr. Massimo told us he'd already had complaints.

The mattress in the main bedroom felt like it could be from the 1970s, lumpy and far from clean or hygienic. I had to get a mat to put on top of it so I could sleep. Outside, the table and chairs under the gazebo were dirty and covered in cobwebs. There was a bottle on the table with dried flowers and rotten water. The pool was the only positive, though getting to it isn't easy for everyone. The apartment itself was very dated, with old furniture, damp, and a strong musty smell. It was quite dirty too, and full of moths and furniture moths. The dishes were greasy and dirty, so I spent the first evening washing them before dinner. There was only a little dish soap, and I went out to buy cleaning supplies the next day. Even reaching the property meant taking an unpaved access road, and everything looked shabby and poorly maintained. Not a great experience at all.

Massimo, the host and farmer, is incredibly friendly, and the place has a lovely, charming feel. It's a working farm with 80 lovely cows and eight well-behaved dogs. The pool is really large, too. The property has several family houses, each with two rooms sleeping two or three people and a shady terrace. Just keep in mind, despite what the title says, this isn't a four-star hotel. Dinner is served in the evenings in summer.
