This is a fantastic castle-like property in a great location. We (and the kids) especially loved the pool and picking fresh pears from the trees on the property! The views of sunsets and sunrises are particularly spectacular.
However there are a few things to note which were not fully evident from the property description:
- The property lacks creature comforts such as air conditioning, proper showers (the showers are hand held which is quite awkward) and comfortable beds (they are very hard and all 4 adults got sore backs from sleeping in them).
- There were not fly screens on all the windows so we had to keep them closed at night to prevent mosquitoes entering and it got very hot in some rooms (especially upstairs).
- There are about 7-10 cats that live on the property. As I am allergic to cats that was problematic, but also the cats frequently entered our house looking for food (we had to leave the doors open to let enough light in and also let in the breeze given the lack of air conditioning) which was annoying, especially as one of them ate a whole can of tuna that had just been opened.
These are things which would have been good to know beforehand which is why I'm sharing them. If you are adequately prepared and happy to forego creature comforts for the uniqueness of the property and location then this is a great place to stay!
