                        We loved the size and the setting of the house and the pool. also how centrally located it was. We also appreciated the privacy.

                        A wonderful property! Neither words nor pictures do it justice. Shower head in upstairs bath need to be replaced. Ice cube trays for freezer (for Americans).

                        The villa was wonderful with the most beautiful views of the area. It was breath taking. I would suggest cleaning the carpet on the stairs and in the living room. Kitchen knives need sharpening and maybe a few more kitchen utensils for cooking.
