Unfortunately, the property did not live up to its description, especially considering the high price we paid. When you spend this much, you expect more.
First, the location was misleading. The listing states that it’s a 15-minute walk to the city center. This is not true. It’s a 15-minute drive, and on foot, it takes 1.5 hours downhill and likely even longer uphill.
Second, the description mentioned that the driveway to the house is 2.40 meters wide. This is also untrue. We measured it out of frustration and found it to be only 2.00 meters in the curve, where you also have to navigate stairs that lead to a hiking path just to make the turn. The only car that could fit is a Smart. After our car got stuck and we had to reverse all the way back, we were offered help with our luggage, but our guest ended up staying in the house for almost the entire stay. the walk from the parking spot to the house is about 300-400 meters. This was manageable for us, but it’s important to note that you’ll need to carry all your groceries and luggage this distance. This was particularly frustrating as we were traveling with an 80-year-old guest who has difficulty walking long distances.
Lastly, the garden did not look anything like the photos. The grass and small plants were all dried out. The trash disposal requires a 20-min walk.
The view from the house is stunning, and it is charmingly decorated with a lot of antique pieces. The house was very clean and tidy, which we really appreciated.
