We loved the house and surrounding countryside. Pino gave us a short guided tour on our arrival and was on hand throughout the trip to answer any questions. Pino also offered to set up the fireplace each evening - which was very much appreciated in the chilly April evenings. The house is set in a large orange and lemon orchard that guarantees freshly squeezed juice every morning and also gives the children a chance to explore the outdoors. The neighbourhood cats (including a couple of young kittens) were all friendly, as were the various horses, dogs, and (more) cats down the country lanes by the house.
