Beautiful but not for everyone
A beautiful old stone house which has been extensively renovated with lots of interesting features. It is set in a very peaceful location and has a lovely enclosed garden and pool. There is an excellent terrace adjoining the house - a lovely place to sit in the shade overlooking the garden. We stayed as a couple in this house listed for 12 people. We were comfortable but I cannot imagine 10 more adults using the space. It's probably more accurate to say the house is suitable for 3 couples plus children. The house is full of character but with hazards - the main stone staircase has no bannister and there are uneven steps between many of the rooms - not safe for the very old/young. There are lots of pretty feature lights but the electrics look overloaded with lots of extension leads/multiple sockets. We were wary of turning too many things on at once. Sheets and towels are not included in the price and we were happy to bring our own but we were only told about this after we had paid. Given that the house is expensive I found this quite surprising. Overall this is a wonderful holiday home to own, but might be hazardous for new occupants who are not familiar with it.
