There is old world charm throughout the house. Even though I didn't have the pleasure of meeting the hosts, I felt I knew them by their many heirlooms and family photos around the house. Their cleaner was such a lovely lady! The pool, garden and terrace were very nice and the use of two bicycles was amazing! There was a huge supermarket and lovely bakery walking distance. Very handy. Only drawback is that it is on a busy road, which we did't expect.
