The villa was just delightful! The location was ideal for visiting so many points of interest in the area. Our family had a wonderful time and created many wonderful memories. The views were spectacular!

The exterior of the villa, the pool, the views and the location were all great! The chef was fantastic and Isabella, the keyholder, was cordial and helpful.
