"Our stay at Villa Bianca was what dreams are made of! We stayed for 2 weeks with our family of 5 and didn’t want to leave! The house was spotless when we arrived and just as beautiful as the listing described. The location was perfect for a secluded getaway but with the accessibility of villages close by! The pool was amazing and the outdoor area only added to the experience. The views and wildlife were incredible! Kitchen was fully stocked and air conditioning worked great! Udo was an incredible house host with great recommendations for beaches and restaurants. Very great and easy to communicate with. We cannot wait to come back and enjoy this beautiful house again! "
