This is a beautiful place with beautiful gardens and many steps. The views are magical. The rooms are large and furnished in a grand style. The bathrooms are modern as is the well furnished kitchen. The bedrooms are air conditioned with wonderful mattresses but without screens.We truly enjoyed the house, the views, the gardens and the service we had from the wonderful property manager Martina.We painted lots of watercolors from the balconies and the gardens. We also cooked on the tiny barbecue.All appliances are modern and efficient.Our only wish was that we could open the windows for fresh air without mosquitoes.
