This house is even more gorgeous than the photos in the listing. We stayed here in late January, which is technically off-season. The weather was 60 degrees and sunny, which allowed us to spend lots of time outdoors and even take a dip in the heated pool. This house is ideal for a family with small children. We had our 2 year-old daughter with us. She loved the swingset, ride-on toys and pool. Even though it was winter, the grass and landscape was green, and there were even a few roses blooming in the rose garden. We explored the yard with her finding numerous snails, millipedes and other local bits of nature. It was perfect for slowing down and enjoying time with our toddler.
Maria was an excellent host. We had some trouble finding the house as there are no street names and the GPS we rented through our rental car company (a TomTom) required an address. If you get a data plan and use Google Maps instead, you likely won't have issues. We just called Maria on the phone and she provided us directions as we went. When we arrived, Maria and her adorable son were there to greet us with delicious savory spinach and cheese pies. Checkout was a breeze. We had an excellent experience at Villa Irene.
