Fabulous place for a getaway!

Great spot, just a short walk from town. The house was incredible and hosts were amazing, even making sure the house was heated for our late night arrival. The water pressure was incredible too. We would definitely stay here again.

Gorgeous villa and garden, and loved the bikes

Just what we needed! Lovely house, spotlessly clean and all set up to welcome us (thanks for the provisions, the set fireplace and even some sweets for the kids). Loved being able to use the cute bikes (very Instagrammable, according to our 13-year-old), and the clawfoot bath is wonderful. Well-provisioned kitchen, though you might want to BYO a large sharp knife. Megan and her husband were really great to deal with. A great experience and we'd love to return.
