Better than "excellent", more precisely our experience was extraordinary.....in every way. I would return to Villa Il Doccio if at all possible, on another visit. Everyone, really everyone, in my family of 12 from ages 70 years (me) to 10 months (grandbaby Holiis) celebrated this choice of vacation locations. Irene,our host, made us feel as if we were her special and only guests. The dinner she and her brother Eduardo prepared for us from scratch, complete with cooking lessons for the kids, was memorable. Enjoying this dinner, prepared in part by us, will be a etched in our collective minds forever....sitting at the long table on the veranda, under the grapevines....fantastic. The renewed rustic house with 4 separate living quarters was even better than described, comfortable and charming. The pool area was extravagant in space and was used daily and enjoyed by all of us. The kids had a ball. I could not have wished for anytihing better or different.
On a personal side note, I have to extend my special thanks to Irene, who when she learned during our dinner that my wife's brother was taken seriously ill back in the USA, she volunteered to drive with me back and forth to the Rome airport that following morning to put my wife on the next plane back to be with her brother. Her kindness and much appreciated help brings a tear to my eye.
I know you will love the Villa Il Doccio and Irene and her family should you be lucky enough to visit there.
