Review Details:
We had a wonderful time at Il Palagio the property is beautiful and for us centrally located. The rooms were large and the living space was warm and welcoming.
The owners provided enough wood for the entire time we were there. Not being from a cold climate it was a welcome treat. The wall furnaces helped keeping the rooms warm too.
We don't know if the water system was installed correctly or not but there were several times where the water went out. The owners quickly fixed the problem. After about the third time it did become bothersome, but we were on vacation in Italy so we thought it best not complain. [Owner Comment: We are very sorry for this problem and are working now to solve the problem. The entire water system has new wiring this year so the problem should be solved shortly]
If anything I would suggest the seller's correct the drafting problem in the fire place. The house would quickly fill up with smoke unless a window or door were open. Considering that is was in the 30's, leaving the window open too long defeated the purpose of the fireplace and the furnaces. The smoke would settle in the bedroom closest to the courtyard leaving all of the clothing a bedding with a strong smell of smoke. [Owner Comment: We should have explained better how to start a fire. Since it is an old fireplace, it requires that the fire be started off to one side to get the draft started properly. We apologize.]
We would stay again, preferably in the late spring or early fall before or after the high season. We really enjoy the solitude the property provided.
