Fantastic Historic Estate

This place made for the absolutely perfect secluded, romantic, weekend getaway. My wife truly enjoyed the feng shui of the well- appointed, historic Italianite villa. We had a great time and we will be back!!!!

Charming home

This is a charming property. The renovations are coming along nicely. We were amused at the creaks and hisses of the place, typical of historic homes, reminded me of my grandmothers years ago. We will stay again!
