The house is cozy, the outdoor space is perfect for lunch and breakfast while admiring the mountains and for dinner under a huge sky full of stars. Days are warm, night are cool, skies are clear at all times.
The host is a match to the house, warm, bright, looking like his ancient namesake, never intruding, caring good man.
The beach (and decent grocery stores) are reasonably close, 30 minutes of breathtaking mountain views away. Mountain walks are even closer, starting at your porch.
We loved it, hope you do too.
