Beautiful property & extremely helpful hosts!
Our group loved our stay at the Monticelli Mansion!
We had 9 adults and the space was perfectly sized to accommodate us all. It is a gorgeous house and all of the rooms are lovely.
The house was a little difficult to locate but the host provided helpful directions that made it easier. I only wish it were a little bit more central to nearby restaurants and grocery stores, but the benefit of distance means that the property has an incredible view of the surrounding area. Just note that you definitely need a car to stay here.
The biggest asset is the kind hosts - from communication, to welcoming into us all into her home, to assisting us with our laundry (the machine was broken and Cristina and her husband let us use their personal machine) - Cristina and her family were nothing but welcoming and helpful. Note that they have 3 incredibly cute and friendly dogs as well, that are present around the property. While this was not an issue for our group, it may be for some guests, so it would be good to get a heads up about that fact. We were also a little nervous because it was difficult to leave the property without the dogs trying to follow, so we had to be cautious with driving and with opening the gate. Again, not a deal-breaker by any means, but it would be helpful to get help from the host on how to leave by car or by foot while keeping the dogs safe.
All in all though, we had a wonderful stay and couldn’t have asked for a better place to ring in the new year!
