Chilled Out in Casalabate
Review Submitted: July 4, 2009
Date of Stay: May 2009
What a great place to chill out and soak up some sun. Six adults (3 couples) stayed at Villa Sun for a week at the end of May. The weather was hot and sunny, the location was rural away from all the hustle and bustle, the villa itself was excellent.
We arrived at the villa Saturday evening and were welcomed by the owners - Richard and Noirin, who explained the basics, you know hot water, showers, cooking facilities, local market, etc. We were provided with a welcome basket containing the basics to start us off in the right direction.
The villa itself is well appointed with two large bedrooms and a smaller bedroom containing two bunks, a shower/bathroom, kitchen/dining area and plenty of room to relax inside once the sun sets. A good selection of DVD's and games are available if you need them, we didn't. Six sun beds are provided for chilling out purposes.
Sunday - down to the local market in Casalabate to get provisions for a few days. Fresh vegetables, fruit and fish available, the local market provides high quality cooked meats, breads and other important general provisions, e.g. wine and beer - much cheaper than the UK. We spent the rest of the day chilling in the sun with a plentiful supply of food and drink.
Monday to Friday - see Sunday except on somedays we visited a bigger supermarket in Lecce.
If you want a holiday away from the rest of the world - no internet, no phones, few people then this is the place for you. All you need is a car and some basic Italian to get those provisions from the market.
