Notes on accommodation
The house is on 3 floors. The two main bedrooms have their own short staircases The other 2 bedrooms can all use the ground floor shower room or the 3rd bedroom can use the 2nd en-suite with bed 2. The house is also very suitable for smaller numbers ie 6 people which will then give an extra reception room. All the bedrooms have double doors with a wrought iron railing and all have mountain views. The 4th bedroom is on the ground floor and leads straight out onto the terrace. The house may not suitable for very small children or the infirm. Although young children have stayed and enjoyed it as did the parents. The bottom bedroom is useful for little ones.
The house is 200 hundred years old and is thoroughly modernised but still retains its old character and charm. It is absolutely unspoilt and is querky. There are two loggias outside the house, in summer one lives outside, eat and drink and relax so these areas are as important as the rooms inside. The views are astonishing.

Guest comments
Our 2 weeks spent in this lovely house have been very special. The kids loved the pool, grownups loved relaxing. A timeless quality. Thank you. Mrs.Lowell and family.
We all enjoyed Casa Menta, great set up, views! Sad to go back to dreary wet old England. Thanks. John Thatcher.
