Neilson’s place is a little slice of paradise. Neilson himself is such a gracious host, making sure everything is in order, giving us the grand tour of the premises, and checking in with us daily to ensure all was well.
He also left us lots of lovely goodies for us to enjoy, truly unexpected!
The premises are quite magical, with a play area including a tree house for the younger kids, a dreamy olive grove and stunning vistas. It was too hot for us to enjoy anything other than the pool while we were there, but this would be an incredible place in the cooler months, too.
The photos show a dining table and seating on the terrace which isn’t there, though there is a lovely coffee table and seating instead.
Also, unfortunately the AC in the living room broke down the day before we arrived. Neilson went out of his way to advise us of this at the earliest and did his utmost to find a quick fix, buying a fan for the area and telling us to leave the bedroom ACs running all day to make up (which we didn’t do as we hate the thought of wasting that much electricity!)
We should also add that when we enquired prior to arriving if they had a blender there, he went and bought one! Ever the consummate host!
Lastly, for those interested in the pool, it would be useful to note that the deepest part of the pool goes down to 1.23m. The shallow areas are perfect for young children to play in and the facilities around the pool very welcome, including toilets, a shower, and ample sunbeds and umbrellas. And of course, those unbeatable views!
A good time was had by all, and Neilson’s hosting skills played a big part in that.
