Guest comments
Thank you so much for letting us stay in your wonderful villa you must be very proud of it. It is the best place we have stayed in for quite a time. It’s nice to be on our own and not to have to share the area with others. The boys loved the pool!
We’ve had a great 2 weeks holiday, can’t wait to come back! The idyllic location of the villa is matched by the style and charm of the villa itself. We didn’t eat out as much as most (the barbeque delivers delicious char grilled garlic chicken) however we would recommend Café del Sonno in Bagni-probably the best ever macaroni with fungi there is!
This is our third stay at Villa Joba and it is as wonderful as ever! We have enjoyed a lovely lazy week in beautiful weather actually doing very little and feeling totally relaxed.
