The home and surroundings were amazing, just as described in the listing. It is perched on the side of a hill, providing beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The pool is beautiful (though it was too chilly for us to use). The bedrooms were very large, with ensuite baths and walk-in closets. The kitchen was large, and there were 3 different areas to dine on the first floor. The hostess, Irene, was available at all times on the property, and eager to answer questions regarding the house and the surrounding area. We arranged through the owner/manager to have a true Italian dinner prepared for us on our first night. The food and presentation was fabulous! There was food left over to snack on for several days! Irene even brought us pastries one morning. We always felt secure in the home and yard, as there is a fence with electric gate (we were provided a gate-remote control).
