Our stay at Frank and Maria's villa was memorable. Not only is this a beautiful, spacious and comfortable home, but the hosts display a real pleasure to be sharing it with us, as if we were old friends or family members. We really felt very welcomed, and an instant, real human connection with Frank and Maria. They are very kind, friendly, generous and real pleasure to talk with. We shared some very pleasant moments and chats with them, enjoying the delicious bottle of wine, they had reserved for us, and having some of Maria's tasty appetizers. They took the time to give us useful information about best routes and things to do in the area, and in the rest of our trip in the north island.
Our room was spacious, comfortable and nicely decorated. The bathroom, equally attractive, had everything we needed. We shared the kitchen with another very pleasant couple staying in the house. Breakfast was provided and we were happy to enjoy it at the tables set outdoors. We enjoyed the country side feeling of the villa, with its garden, trees, flowers and sheep, as well as the peace and fresh air.
We wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy this beautiful place. We said goodbye to Frank and Maria with a heavy heart and hope our paths will cross again.
