Guest comments
'We had a great time thank you. We thought your villa had everything, we have rented many villas in the past and yours was one of the best equipped we have ever been in. You have obviously put a lot of thought and effort into it. Your directions were spot on we had no trouble finding it at all..... We would love to come back with our family and fill the place with people as it would be a great place for a family holiday. The area was good also rural but not remote. I don’t think you could improve it everything was perfect.' SC
