Casa Campia

Rooms description

The property has two bedrooms. In the former chapel, which was originally a stable, the king-size double bed is in a beautiful stone arched niche and the tall, A-frame, wooden ceiling is painted white, providing a calm and inviting space. The textures of the stone, the wood, and the rattan pendants, as well as a pop of colour in the cushions, are all the decoration required. Double metal-framed glass doors lead to the garden.

The double bedroom in the tower and its accompanying bathroom are stacked above the living area with steps from the bedroom leading up to the bathroom. The room has a striped Moroccan rug and bright cushions to add colour, texture and comfort to the beautifully calming space.

There are three bathrooms. The upstairs bathroom in the tower has a freestanding tub as well as a shower. The clean lines of the bath tub and the glass screens either side are softened by a bright Moroccan rug on the floor and a hot pink Berber floor cushion.

The en-suite in the former chapel has a shower and double basins. High performance fixtures and fittings sit beautifully in this simple arched space.

There is a further shower room on the ground floor of the tower.

Occupying one end of the living space on the ground floor of the tower, the monochrome kitchen is a sleek, sophisticated affair. The complementary textures of the gloss white cabinetry, the marble countertop, the large stone arch and the black barstools make this an elegant space. It is expertly equipped so guests can do culinary justice to the fabulous local produce, and metal and glass doors lead to the perfect al fresco dining spot under the portico.

On the ground floor opposite the kitchen, the sitting area is cosy and simple. A long, comfy sofa, whitewashed ceiling beams and a seagrass pendant make this a perfect indoor snoozing, reading or chatting spot. Double doors either side lead to the garden where there is a whole load more lounging potential, either on the inbuilt sofa with its floor cushions and pair of wooden swings, or in the hammocks under the pergola or on any of the various chairs that make the most of this beautiful space.

Your villa and Covid-19

To prevent any possible spread of Covid-19 and to enable you to enjoy a safe and relaxing holiday, all our villas are cleaned to the highest standard possible, and according to the latest Italian health and safety regulations.

Perfect hygiene: to ensure an exceptional level of hygiene in all our villas, we’ve worked with our owners to create a Covid-19 villa management protocol. Based on recommendations from the World Health Organisation, and in compliance with current Italian national law, this protocol goes above and beyond our usual rigorous cleaning standards.

Prior to arrival, your villa will have been fully sanitised, including all surfaces, objects, kitchen items, curtains, sofas, throws, pillows, toys, and in and around the pool. You are welcome to ask for a detailed list of the entire cleaning procedure we do after each departure and before welcoming new guests to the property.

The owner of this house has complied with the following standards:

• To ensure the necessary information concerning social distancing and the use of masks is available to all guests
• To guarantee availability of and accessibility to hand hygiene systems with hydro-alcoholic solutions and soaps in all inside areas of, and pertaining to, the villa
• To guarantee cleaning and disinfection of all areas according to national authority guidelines. Further information is available on request
• For the swimming pool: to guarantee the efficacy of the water treatments, while respecting legal limits (the parameter for free active chlorine in the pool is between 1.0 – 1.5 mg/l; combined chlorine ≤ 0.40 mg/l; pH 6.5 – 7.5 or equivalent oxygen)
• For air conditioning systems: to guarantee the air re-circulation function is switched off and, according to the manufacturer’s instructions, with the plant in off-mode, to clean the air filters of the heating/cooling plants that use heat pumps, fan coils and convectors, at the end of each stay
