San Filippo

NOT for foreign travelers, Not as described. Really disappointed in how this stay turned out. First, we chose it for two reasons: Horse riding (which we confirmed in advance we could do) & a "full apartment with kitchen." It was, literally, the most uncomfortable space I've ever slept in. The rooms shown in most of the photos are the OWNER'S apartment in the 2-story building, not the public rooms. It is a children's riding school for Italians, not a true agriturismo for tourists, & not as expected based on photos. I do not recommend. We were only allowed to ride the horses 1 time in a 4 day stay, & the kitchen is unusable. Prep space only about 18" wide, cookware worn out, knives so dull I couldn't cut chicken; so extremely lacking I couldn't cook a proper meal. There is nowhere to sit or relax in the apartment except the horribly uncomfortable kitchen chairs or on the bed, no couch or upholstered chairs as expected in an apartment. It's partially underground & it's noticeable. Dark & claustrophobic w/windows only in the kitchen. Ultra hard bed, no duvet as described. Flies by the thousands even though we never left the door or window open. Family had 2 MASSIVE parties over 2 days of our stay, flooding the property w/cars & young people who used our front porch as a smoking & cell phone lot. The only good things: Cute puppies running around, lots of stars at night, lemon trees at our disposal, & the owners were nice once they accepted we were there to stay a while.
