Overall: The villa, the owners, and the views were exceptional. Enjoyed Most: The villa we had was very comfortable and the grounds provided a restful environment. There were sights to view from anywhere on the property. There were staff members tending the grounds everyday. Although we did not use them, the pool and the tennis court were appealing. Surrounding Area: The views, the lushness of the surrounding areas, and the nearby villages. Nearby Events or Locales: Staggia was probably within walking distance although we drove. Tips or Restaurants: Don't overpack. We found a restaurant in the next village up from Staggia which we visited twice. The food was very good, the prices very fair, and outside seating. Directions: Learning how to drive in Italy in general is a challenge. We stopped several times for directions, which was difficult because of the language barrier. Check In Out: The check in/out were without incident. Claudia provided computer-generated directions to the airport.
