The photos and description of this place just don't do it justice. From street life it looks grim, but beyond the gates is another world. Vast beautiful secure gardens with a pool, and a BBQ area beside it.
The house is huge, filled with antiques, and a decor which I would have called sumptuous, except that it is slightly tired. There is a lot of glass panels, and a marble staircase so young children would need to be supervised.
The kitchen is well equipped, microwave, coffee maker, dishwasher, but alas no kettle!
In the description you would think each bed was in its own room. There is a huge L shaped room, with a double bed in each section. The rooms are divided by a curtain.
In the other half of the first floor there are two double rooms and a twin room, and another twin room on the next floor.
There is a washing machine in the basement.
TV in lounge and a music centre, TV in one bedroom too. There is table football, table tennis, a trampoline, and loads of things to discover like the ice house, and secret steps.
You pay extra at the end of the holiday for electricity.
The owner is really friendly and helpful, cleaning the pool each day and inflating the lilos, giving useful information, but not intrusive.
It's a bit of a walk into town, but there is a rather expensive pizza takeaway near the station.
Things to do; club spaghetti restaurant-good food and prosecco on tap!
Grotto de Cagleiron lovely shrine and a breathtaking walk through a river valley.
The prosecco machine and help yourself osteria are worth a visit, and a trip to the Cathedral of St Anthony at Padua. Venice is easily accessible by train, but you have to change at Connegliano and the trains don't connect. You may have to wait a couple of hours. Better to drive to Connegliano and get train from there.
