For our annual family meeting, I chose this Villa . It has been a great success. The Villa is beautiful, convivial, located in a superb spot. It is well furnished with ancient pieces of furniture which , I personally very much appreciated. We enjoyed the space, the wonderful pool, the garden and the kindness of our hosts, specially the manager who has been so helpful and friendly. We also very much liked the cook , so much that we ask her to come several times. All of us including our teenagers love our stay there. I suspect that the pool certainly added spirit to feisty family debates.

We were a family party of 10 staying at the Villa for a period of one week. Even tho we read all we could about the Villa before booking we were still not sure what to expect. It was beyond anything we imagined. A beautiful old family home full of warmth & character. Totally charming! Beautifully kept with impeccable grounds and of course the wonderful swimming pool, the jacuzzi and the sauna. During our stay we continued to find surprises, great pictures, lovely books, unusual fixtures. We had the first dinner,it was perfect. We enjoyed the little restaurants in town! The teens took a stroll one evening, later told us they had a treat for us the next evening. After dark they took us out a ways & the darkness was lit up with fluttering little lights,which were the fireflies. Was delightful. We took day trips to local towns easily.
