"As a group of friends travelling with kids, we loved our stay here. The villa is a generous size, the views are beautiful and the pool was great. It's an old property with a lot of character, located in a peaceful rural area. You can tell that the renovation of this place is an ongoing labour of love. The massive kitchen/dining area has been finished to a really high standard. It's where we spent most of our time when not in the pool/garden. A couple of the bedrooms are still a little more rustic, but personally I quite liked that. I wasn't expecting a pristine hotel suite.The surrounding area isn't particularly known for tourism, so the pretty hill-top towns and villages nearby were rather sleepy, but still very welcoming. The local Abbey is also a pleasant place to go for a walk. And they have amazing ice cream and a lovely bar/café for evening drinks. There's also a local produce shop which was great for buying fresh fruit, vegetables, wine etc.Both the owner and local property manager of the villa were very helpful and responsive throughout booking process and during our stay. Would highly recommend!"
