Wonderful stay here for 8 nights. Spent most of our time in or around the amazing pool. Villa has a lot of steps and may not be suitable for all. Property manager was fantastic with help when we got lost. Would recommend for a secluded break in the hills.

A beautiful house in a remote location
The house is spacious, well laid out and very beautiful. The pool being hated and on a lower level was perfect for us with two 3 year olds. Our only criticism is that the bathrooms and linen could be updated.
