Gorgeous cottage in picturesque location. Had everything we needed for our stay. Loved sitting out on the deck in a lovingly attended to garden surrounded by large pine trees. So peaceful and quiet for our stay. Perfect place to explore the peninsula from. Made good use of the Bocce court. Would definitely stay here again.
