Above and beyond expectation
The villa was a luxurious but very practical space for our family to totally relax and wind down in. Despite our flight being delayed, our host still met us at the villa at 2.00am to show us around. The outside space was amazing, luxury pool, terraced eating area and privacy. Alessandra was simply the kindest, most accommodating host we could have wished for and it turned out to be the best family holiday we have had for many years. Thoroughly recommend.
