To flee the cold winter, we stayed the month of February at Duncan's and Marian's "little castle". Apart from 6 days of clouds and some rain, it felt like spring: sun, blue skies and 15 to 18 degrees in the shadow. And during the colder days and the evenings the heating (very quiet reversible aircons) kept the place really cosy and warm.
Delightful Marian, Duncan's mother, showed us the house (her old home). It is exactly like the pictures! Both Marian and Duncan were very quick to respond to any niggles we had. The house and especially the kitchen are very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. And the WiFi is fast enough for streaming.
The location of the house in the cobblestone lanes near the Basilika is very quiet (no traffic) and really everything one needs is within an 8 minute walking radius. We even found a parking spot within a 3 minutes walk every day.
We already plan to be back in October/November!
