“I cannot praise this lovely house highly enough. The house is delightful. It is a beautiful place to stay with stunning scenery. The most noise came from the sheep bells from the local flock and the occasional snuffling of wild boar late at night!. Everything you could need is in the house and it has so many lovely touches. We especially enjoyed watching films on the projector! The outside space is beautiful too. The pools are amazingly refreshing on a hot day and having a deep pool for swimming and a shallow one for walling in was a real treat. Do not miss out on a home cooked local meal by chef Bruno. It will be a highlight of your stay. All in all, one of the best retreats we ever stayed in.”

“This place was amazing! We had six people and for us the place was very spacious, with three different houses and rooms all over. The scenery was beautiful with great views. This was definitely worth the stay. The only minus was the road, but once you get the hang of it, it is definitely manageable. Just make sure to not rent a car that is too large. Also, do not miss out on letting Bruno and Giovanni cook for you!”
