Penelope is a wonderful hostess, friendly and very helpful. Besides all the basics that a visitor might need, she provided a 101 extras--tasty local products (cheese, fruit, liqueurs.); shampoos and soaps in the bathroom; tea, coffee and wine; and much more. She also had excellent suggestions of where to go and what to see. But the beach, a five-minute walk from her house, was so beautiful, there were many days we didn't want to go anywhere else.
