The location was perfect, close to town, as was the setting of the guest house amidst a vineyard and gorgeous garden in which we spotted two owls. Everything was spotlessly clean, we did not want for anything and the interior styling beautiful. The grounds were in perfect condition, every morning the deck chairs and umbrellas were set up for us and the house serviced and tidied. It was one of the most tranquil, beautiful and restful spots we have ever been. We truly relaxed and wished we could have stayed longer! We will be back...
