8/10
This villa is in a beautiful rural location a short walk outside the village of Castel-Nuovo. It looks over the quite populated valley below that leads to La Spezia. We had a hard time finding the villa because the Internet went down soon after leaving the La Spezia-PIsa highway so we couldn't use Google-Maps, but providing the internet is working it's easy to find. The pool is small but warm (in early June) and in a pleasant private location. One of the two bed-rooms is up a steep winding metal staircase, so not ideal for the non-agile. The kitchen could benefit - maybe especially for English visitors - from a few extra items e.g.: an electric kettle; a proper tea-pot that pours properly; plus a few containers for putting food in the fridge. It would also be useful to have some 'basics' in the kitchen for those who arrive late e.g.: salt; sugar; tea. The Hosts are very helpful and supply plenty of local information. They live nearby but do not overlook the villa which is private for tenants only.
