We had a very pleasant holiday in the Farmhouse in the middle of July. Arianne had arranged for a snack when we arrived, and the kids went to the pool almost immediately.
We enjoyed the elegancy of the house, rested near the pool in the middle of the day and went to the beautiful, rocky beaches when the sun was less burning... our older kids went on foot to the nearest, sandy beach, though, the days they couldn't wait for us ;-)
