Guests say

Vista Tasso is highly praised for its spaciousness, cleanliness, and welcoming hosts. Guests enjoy the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and additional amenities like a hot tub and ping pong table. The property's location offers beautiful views and is convenient for local walks and town visits. Thoughtful touches such as complimentary items add to the positive experience, although these are not guaranteed for every stay.

The property consistently receives compliments for its spotlessness and cleanliness, with multiple reviews highlighting this aspect positively. There is only one mention of wear and tear, which seems to be an isolated case.

The location is frequently described as fantastic, with easy access to local amenities, walks, and beautiful views. The proximity to both town and countryside is appreciated, although one review mentions the area being hilly, which could be a consideration for those with mobility issues.

Guests find the property very comfortable, with numerous mentions of comfortable beds, spacious living areas, and a cosy atmosphere. The house accommodates large groups without feeling cramped, contributing to the overall comfort.

The facilities, including the hot tub, kitchen equipment, and games room, are well-received. However, there are a few minor maintenance issues mentioned, such as problems with the oven, grill, and hot tub heating, which slightly lower the score.

While many reviews express gratitude for the thoughtful touches like complimentary chocolates, milk, and bread, these gifts are not guaranteed for every stay. As not all reviews mention such gifts, it is not possible to accurately score this category.

On the edge of the West Yorkshire Pennines, in the picturesque Holme Valley, is the historic, traditional Pennine town of Holmfirth. Holmfirth is more than just Compo and Nora Battye's stockings, despite being made famous by the TV series The Last of the Summer Wine! The best live music venue in the North of England, the "Picturedrome," is in the heart of the city and draws many well-known bands. The 2014 Tour de France and the Tour de Yorkshire pelotons both passed through this small Holme Valley village on their way up the famous 524-meter Holme Moss climb, which is located two miles away. Cycling's three-time Olympic medalist Ed Clancy was raised on these hills. In addition, Holmfirth offers parks, a good public pool, a fitness centre, as well as a few grocery stores and eateries. The locals are welcoming, the streets are charming, and the surroundings are breathtaking. It's also simple to go to the Peak District National Park, which has moors, dales, woodlands, lakes, and reservoirs. A short, picturesque drive will take you to the Upper Derwent Region, home of the magnificent Ladybower and Derwent reservoirs, and the site where the renowned 617 "Dambusters" Squadron trained for their daring raid on the Ruhr valley in 1943. The Duke and Duchess of Devonshire's stately residence, Chatsworth, is a short distance away from Bakewell, the market town where Bakewell Puddings are made. Near and well worth a visit are the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, National Coal Mining Museum, Wentworth Castle, and the Hepworth Gallery. Holmfirth offers a taste of culture with its yearly festivals, which include the Folk, Arts, and Food & Drink Festivals, among many more attractions that keep visitors coming back for more. Holmfirth Vineyard and Restaurant, where you may schedule wine tasting trips and delight in a delightful meal in the restaurant, is another not to be missed.
