We loved the seclusion of Vanessa's house, combined with the modern amenities. The kitchen, though small, is well equipped and we were able to cook most meals at home. The garden is beautiful. We enjoyed our walks in the woods and vineyard, and our three young children loved exploring the immediate surroundings on their own. We followed Vanessa's detailed directions and had no problem finding the house, even after dark. We had similar issues with hot water as other reviewers. With five of us it was a stretch to manage warm showers for everyone. Nonetheless we would highly recommend Vanessa's house to anyone looking for a secluded getaway with the comforts of home.
