We couldn't stop giggling from the moment we drove by the lions at the gate, over the lane to this impressive villa . Antonio was waiting for us when we stepped out of the car in front of the private church that belongs to the estate. Everything felt like a dream from the beginning to the end of our stay. It is really special how the family takes the time to explain about all the history and specific elements of the villa and surroundings. It is next level hospitality. On top of this you get the biggest bonus of happiness from the family dog, horse, turtle & cats. They are trained not to enter the house but to open up the curtains in the morning to see a dog and a horse waiting for you to come outside and pet them, is heaven. They follow you all around the garden, we miss them already. The inside of the villa is comfortable & stylish. Whatever you need is there. Get ready to feel like royalty when you are lucky enough to book this place.
