Wow. Thoroughly enjoyed our week here. Central to both major cities, but we have to say we need not have left the village. There was everything we needed to start off with in the house, which was spotless, so we didn't need to immediately to buy the basics. Sifis and Maria were great hosts. They were so helpful any time we needed anything but were never intrusive. Maria had a menu in the house so we could order in advance any homecooked dish in advance. We availed of this the first day as we were too tired to do any more driving. It was beautiful food. And very reasonably priced.
Although, to be honest, we need not have drove anywhere again for the rest of our stay as everything we needed was in the village, including two wonderful restaurants, in which we dined in frequently.
Can't recommend this house enough, truly has everything we needed and more.
