Only one word really…… Wow!!! Beautiful location, stunning property, beautifully finished…. So so comfortable, even the Sofia bed was a dream. To top it all off the private garden was so picturesque, loved watching the ducklings swimming past. Totally idealistic, and friendly accommodating hosts. We will be back!
