Home truths
While some of the bathrooms aren't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
The accommodation here is spread across the main house and two separate annexes, all of which are accessed from the main courtyard.
In three of the bedrooms, there's a double bed on the ground floor and two single beds on the mezzanine level. This is semi-open to the space below, so privacy is limited.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. Free parking is available.
