La villa è molto bella. Piscina grande e pulita. Affaccio splendido, situata vicina al paese in posizione predominante e silenziosa. Abbiamo trovato quello che cercavamo. Grazie per la piacevole sorpresa.

geräumige Villa mit Parkanlage zum wohlfühlen
Waren schon mit der Großfamilie zum drittenmal hier und haben die Zeit wieder genossen . Das Haus ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet und groß genug dass sich mehrer Leute zurückziehen können. Der Außenbereich bietet viele schattige Plätze und am Pool sind genügend Liegen. Wir wurden wieder am Ankunftstag mit Lassagne für alle verwöhnt was sehr angenehm ist. Die Lage ist super mit Blick auf Poppi und ein E-Radverleiher ist auch vor Ort.

OUR STAY WAS A NIGHTMARE VERY UPSETTING VERY DISSAPOINTING - WE LEFT HALF WAY THROUGH OUR STAY
After driving for an hour and a half around bend after bend we arrived at what could only be discribed as a cold unwelcoming dingy house known as Villa Pratovecchio 488168 absolutely nothing like the promotion photo. It was Cold. Poorly Equipped. Dirty. Kitchen Cabinets Falling Apart. No Kettle or Toaster. Electrical Wiring with Tape on the Joints. None Safety Glass on All Doors and Windows. The interior was sparse, the furniture looked like it was from secondhand shop.TV was balanced on an old pot cupboard! The shower waste kept blocking backing up and flooded the floor. No sink plugs in any of the sinks, the heating wasnt working on arrival when it was finally fixed yet another bomb shell were then told that we had to pay for the Gas Electric and wifi on top of the ridiculously high rental charge! The outside had not seen any attention for a long time the BBQ was covered in leaves the shelves were broken and covered in old grease - not usable. The Fantastic Pool on arrival had not been cleaned. the whole place looked as though it had not been used for years, over grown with weeds, broken branches, broken down garden gates. Our friends flew in to meet us from Dubai expecting as we did a luxury villa, there was nothing luxurious about Villa Pratovecchio ID No 488168 we were so upset and dissapointed we only stayed 5 nights out of 14 nights we'd paid for and to try and salvage our holiday we booked in to a hotel at an extra cost. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND VILLA PRATOVECCHIO ID NUMBER 488168

Perfekt für unsere Familie
Wir fahren seit sieben Jahren mit unserer Familie in die Villa Benfenati nach Pratovecchio. Familie heißt Oma und Opa, wir Eltern und unsere Kinder mit ihren Lebensgefährten. Immer so 15 bis 17 Personen. Oberhalb der liebenswerten Kleinstadt Pratovecchio ist die Villa auf dem weitläufigen Gelände mit dem großen Swimmingpool für uns ideal. Wir stören niemanden, werden von den Gastgebern einmal in der Ferienwoche mit Pasta und Kuchen liebevoll verwöhnt. Die Anlage ist sehr gepflegt, aber nicht luxuriös. Will ganz einfach heißen: Man fühlt sich in dem herrschaftlichen Ambiente von Beginn an zu Hause. Wir verpflegen uns bis auf zwei Tage in unserer Woche selbst, weil wir das gemeinsame Kochen oder Grillen einfach schön finden. Es gibt aber natürlich auch beste Gelegenheiten im näheren Umfeld, Essen zu gehen. Uns gefällt die Villa Benfenati. Und wir dürfen hoffentlich noch viele Jahre wiederkommen.
