Fantastic place for big groups
My family (8 adults and 4 children) had a wonderful time at the Casa Degli Amici!
The home is spacious and perfect for a big group - we were two families of 4 and two couples and it didn’t feel crowded at all, and everyone had their privacy (3 young kids shared a room, older kid was in the small bonus room next to the bathroom).
The rooms were functional and plenty big, and the sink in every room is a nice touch that reduces the bathroom usage (which is important in a big group, and especially since there are only two toilets in the main house). Definitely bring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper because the nearby church bells go off every half hour (including in the middle of the night).
The kitchen is stocked nicely for a big family (plenty of plates, bowls, utensils, etc), the new oven works well (my family cooks a lot), and there are two fridges - a small one in the kitchen and another regular sized one on the landing between the first floor and the cellar. The regular sized fridge is a bit older and could probably use updating (it cooled things pretty slowly). Our main issue with the kitchen was the very small sink, which made it a bit difficult to clean the big pots and pans from meals for 12 people, but there is a dishwasher.
The gardens around the house are amazing! It was so fun exploring the different areas and it was perfect for the children to run around and explore. We had every meal outside and it was lovely.
Thank you Bernhard!
