Would highly recommend
A beautiful, spacious villa with 3 large bedrooms that comfortably sleeps 8 guests. The house is well equipped and clean with a fantastic kitchen, living room, utility, office, indoor and outdoor dining facilities and books and board games to enjoy. The outdoor space of the villa is truly stunning. It has an expanse of garden to explore and enjoy including an orchard, old ruins and a shaded deck by the pool. The pool itself is large and crystal clear with amazing views of the hills beyond. Sipping a glass of wine on the deck looking out over the pool and hills is a perfect pleasure. The owners were knowledgable and informative about the local area and how to keep the house during our stay. The villa is secluded yet only a short drive from vineyards and local towns with markets and restaurants to enjoy. Perfect for families, would highly recommend.
