We were 7 adults, so finding 4 bedroom accommodations are always tricky. The layout would have been perfect. However, only 2 bedrooms had air conditioning. The mosquitos were out so sleeping with windows open was less than desirable and it was very hot during the day. This was not nearly as egregious as the disgustingly dirty conditions of the kitchen, floors and bathrooms, which we did not notice until we started trying to cook dinner and take showers. The stove didn't work correctly - could barely cook our salmon. The dishwasher, while it worked, had a broken drawers and door. The washing machine needed 'special handling' of the door to close it enough to get it to start. To add insult to injury the power went off at 10pm which the owner did get back on after a while, but then it went off at appx 1:10am and didn't come back on until 6:10am. In deference to the owner, we waited until 4am to start sending him texts and calling him. We left that morning. We resolved our issues in conjunction with VRBO and the owner and headed to a hotel.

We had a great stay at Ezio's. Villa Peppe is very spacious and in a great location, close to the sea and several restaurants. When we're coming back to Francavilla, we'll definitely go there. My whole family enjoyed the time there.

"Very fine villa, excellent situation. The owners are very friendly persons. Forte e gentile."
