Villa Fortunata is such an appropriate name for Amelia and Ralph’s space. I’d add to that the word “magical” and the phrase “the place you would like to think of as a second home.” This is literally how some of their other guests have described their experience and I wholeheartedly agree. The two story apartment is straight out of a storybook—to get to the apartment, my guest and I walked through an amazing garden—it’s an oasis of tranquility and beauty that you can tell has been nurtured over many years. In terms of the space itself, everything you’d like to have is there—a gorgeous bathroom, thoughtfully appointed, a great airy kitchen space stocked with coffee, tea and snacks, beach towels and bikes for excursions, so much closet space. And a pool table! A lovely breeze blowing through the bedroom area and living room? Check. A generous patio for enjoying your coffee in the morning or wine at night? Yes. Close to the airport? Yep. Amelia and Ralph also generously shared several treats from their highly reviewed cafe. Yummmm. It’s a perfect space for a writing retreat or a home base to come back to after exploring the beaches and shopping close by. Amelia and Ralph are the perfect hosts—I can’t wait to come back!
