One of the most amazing weeks that I can remember. The villa is the perfect place if you want to relax for a week and not have a care in the world. The interior is stunning and makes you feel like you have been whisked away into another time, whilst the views are simply breathtaking. The photos honestly do not show how incredible the views are.
We only had two slight issues, one being the wifi was very temperamental (if you need to work) and also communicating with Antonio (the grounds keeper) as he does not speak any English. However neither of these stop us from having an amazing week.
