We held a family reunion at La Rocca in May and found the villa to be just breathtaking. After a long journey to the villa, we arrived to a delectable spread to satisfy our hunger. An unexpected touch. Each day, the servers clean-up the kitchen and all the dishes and attend to the bedrooms, so it offers the service of a hotel. The property care taker was so attentive to all of our needs and was at our disposal the whole week. The town is easily accessed and features 2 excellent fine dining restaurants (Ristorante Osteria del Merlo & Osteria Vecchia da Nilo) and one of the best pizzerias (Pizza e Hamburger da Nilo) we have come by over the three trips we have made to Italy over the years. Order the Diavolo Pizza - it is the best! Lots of charming shops to visit including a wine tasting shop with incredible cheese and olives. Oh, and the best Gelateria too (Gran Caffè Cavour)! This town is a foodies' haven.
CONS: Not a heated pool. The villa should consider a solar blanket. We kept running out of TP, so more supplies in the ensuites would be a plus. That's all. Everything else was perfection. It was the most memorable stay we have had in Italy ever!
