Welcoming hosts, we are a family of 8 adults, 5 children and 1 on the way aged from 70 to 6 years old. Amazing house with lots of space which was very well equipped and very clean. We have had a wonderful week swimming pool was the best thing for the children and of course not forgetting the donkeys and the little dog that visited daily. Would thoroughly recommend this property and would visit again.
