Further details
Extracts from our guest book:
"The home and the way it is decorated immediately makes you feel at home. The paintings give it a warm and personal touch which is hard to find in a holiday rental. We have rented villas before in Tuscany and Bretagne and we all agree this is the best equipped house ever! Everything you may need is provided which we really appreciated. The location is great as well, out in the country, but just a short ride to Lagos." Family D., Netherlands
"We loved our stay here and would definitely recommend it to family and friends. Thank you for making this place and therefore our stay so special." Mrs. B., Belgium
"Thanks for making this home a 'real' home. Love the artwork and the 'special touches' throughout. A thoughtful, efficient and well designed home." Mrs. D., Vancouver, Canada
"We have had a wonderful visit at your villa. It has filled every expectation we could asked for! We would certainly hope to visit again in the future. Thank you for a wonderful holiday." Family C., Gibraltar
"From the moment we drove through the gates we were captivated by this beautiful villa – we’d obviously seen pictures, but these couldn’t truly reflect the setting and atmosphere that has been created. We have had a wonderful, relaxing holiday with our young daughters made special by so many of the extra thoughts that have gone into making this home – the sandpit, baby changing area, food blender, to name but a few. We have to comment on the gorgeous garden – the different areas with amazing planting and so many ‘rooms’ to sit & relax in." Mr. H, UK
