Beginning with a friendly welcome from the folks at 2 Macs Farm, we were chaperoned, arms laden with a bouquet of freshly pulled herbs, leaves and the juiciest tomatoes from their garden, to our own oasis where the vistas were as picturesque as oil on canvas. From the moment we stepped inside, greeted by a calming, cool and flowery fresh entry... leading to a chef's kitchen and open family meals area, overlooking the estate. Vines growing overhead on the terrace, roses and lavender flowering and butterflies drifting in the breeze from the ocean in the horizon. The bedrooms were luxuriously furnished, personal sanctuaries for sleep. Dozing off in the evenings to the orchestra of cicadas and crickets, tipsy on Pinot and sun kissed from soothing days on the terrace; to the waking hour where the sun rose to meet linen curtains, drawn and softly blowing through our french doors onto the terrace. Rosie's personal letter (ink on pad!), hand picked flowers, complimentary Pinot Noir from their very own vineyard and gourmet tastes in the pantry - truly made our vacation sumptuous and relaxed. It was beautiful to reconnect with music on the piano in the lounge, reflect and write creatively in the garden during the day, and surround our dinners with dancing candlelight and conversations - regularly tipping the attention to detail and perfection of our accommodation. A countryside paradise, immersed in nature with the pampered accessories to dissolve into a daydream. Thank you, Rosie, for sharing your holiday haven with our family this week.
