The Bales is a great little place to stay if you're looking to explore the area. Sarah is really a great host - everything was provided for us, even all those extra little touches (chocolates, bread, wine, milk, fresh eggs, cereal, premium toiletries, not to mention an awesome array of teas and a coffee maker that I wish I had at home!). Sarah really cares and has put a lot of thought and effort into making your stay a good experience and let us know all the best places to visit. Highlights were Valla Beach and Bello Gelato! Highly recommended.
