GUEST REVIEWS
The vila was exactly as described and even so Nicola was not there when we arrived, she made sure we were well looked after. The views are amazing and the stairs up to the Vila are easy to manage unless you are a heavy smoker!!! The location is good as well and we even walked most times into the city (approx. 20 minutes) and took a taxi ride back. Would definitely stay there again. Thanks Nicola!
