I loved this place so much that I’m going to write two versions of the review- a short one for those skimming and just wanting to get an idea of the place; and a long one for those who have the time to read in detail what they can expect from the amazing hosts.
Shortly put, don’t think twice about this place. It is more than you would want or expect.
Cleanliness- spotless.
Hospitality- you feel more at home than at your home.
Location- excellent.
Privacy- very private and cozy.
Home feel- beautiful! There are harmless cute animals who you can interact with as much as you’d like. If you’re not an animal person- no problem, they’ll stay away!
Hosts- they’re the most warm people you will ever meet.
Now the long version-
We were greeted by Liz and Philip at the door with our country’s flag. They put it up right outside our room in their yard. It was an amazing start to making us feel at home. Then, we took a tour of our room and they were kind enough to show us their home as well. We were shown around their olive farm- said hello to their sheep, their hens and their cat.
Liz and Philip were kind enough to spare time for us to talk to us. It was amazing getting to know them. They even spent time with us telling us about their farm animals and gave us a chance to feed the animals as well.
Our room was sparkling clean, the decor was very cute and tastefully done.
Liz made us an amazing breakfast for two days and was very careful about my egg allergy. She went out of her way to offer us some dessert after dinner. Liz also shared some cooking tips with my wife since she is really fond of baking, just like Liz. Liz is an excellent cook.
Philip took us to the neighbour’s vineyard to tell us about vines.
We also did the Olive Oil tasting from their farm and it was a brilliant experience. Would definitely recommend that to anyone who is fond of olives.
I can’t decide what I loved more- the beautiful property or interacting with Liz and Philip. It was very hard for us to say goodbye to them and their home. It felt like leaving our own home. We checked out just this morning and we miss them already.
