Katie was so easy to communicate with, and Kate helped us move in so efficiently. It's obvious this is a loved home. The villa is so gorgeous and although we live just over the hill by the beach it felt 1000 miles away and so removed from any stress or in fact anyone else - there are houses around but people are tucked away and there was no noise at all apart from coyotes and a few dogs across the canyon. Everything is placed just so - an endearing message here, a Ganesh statuette there, so inviting and relaxing that it's obvious much thought has been put into it. There are two hammocks, a large swing, and a day bed hanging beneath the Buddha and all overlooking the far hills that it was immediately relaxing. It was the perfect place for Thanksgiving walks, games, long dinners, and intimate conversations. We're longing for our next stay!
