We had a wonderful stay at the house. The pool/barbecue area is a real jewel and we spent all our waking hours there. The pool is large and deep, so really fun to use. The garden is well maintained and beautiful, and the area where the house is located is stunning. Air conditioning in the bedrooms works well, and the rest of the house remained cool even though temperatures outside were soaring. Communication was great, and Xavier arrived promptly to show us around the house. He very kindly brought us a selection of local vegetables as a welcome present. They provided towels for the pool, and there was 1.5 bags of charcoal and fire lighters - nice touches.
I would have loved to give 4.5 stars instead of 4. The reason why not 5 stars is the beds (at least the single beds) are short and not terribly comfortable. Also, we missed a few basics in the house. For example, there was no broom, there was only one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, only 6 wine glasses (we were 9), a lack of mugs, etc. These are really small things but you miss them when you need them. All that said, I'd definitely book this house again.
