"The property is spacious, comfortable and set in a beautiful hillside location just outside the town. The furnishings are tasteful and the inside of the house remains pleasantly cool during the hot weather. There is also a choice of attractive sitting and eating areas at the front and back of the house.

The shared swimming pool is clean, regularly maintained and offers poolside sitting both in the shade and the sun. Its setting and proximity to the house made it one of the highlights of our two-week stay.

The family (including a large labrador!) are all very friendly. Anna, our contact person, was mainly only available by telephone (you need to have your own) and it would have been helpful to have had some local information in the house (eg. map of the town, details about local buses, trains, restaurants, as well as instructions on the house water system which was not self-explanatory and caused a few moments of anxiety). One other small criticism concerns the kitchen utensils which were a little understocked (eg. no saucepans with matching lids).

Although the town is not far, it is important to know that the road from the outside of the estate to the nearest shops is difficult to walk along as it is quite busy and there is no pavement. For this reason alone a car is advisory.

Despite these points the house offered us an excellent holiday in a highly relaxing and inspiring setting. We hope to come again some day.
