My experience as the coordinator of a large group staying here was stressful. The house itself is beautiful and we enjoyed the stay, but if you are in the place I was, heed the warning - you will be responsible for anything that anyone does (or doesn't). The house rules are extensive and not unreasonable, however be prepared to be in contact with the host before, during, and after the stay. It is expected that every person staying there read and obey all rules, and any step outside those lines will be questioned.

With the host's expectations so high, I expected the place to be spotless, did not find it as such, yet felt the need to leave the place cleaner than I found it for fear of breaking the rules. I arrived with a two year old and found three different pills on the floor of the bathroom downstairs - luckily before my child did. There were other things that we had to fix upon arriving, but nothing as dangerous, luckily.

The only other hiccup to our stay was the housekeeper finding a broken vase that no one in my group knew about. I was bombarded with messages and eventually was asked to pay for the vase which I did just to be done with the barrage of messages during the last day of my vacation. Glad to be done with the whole situation, the only thing I can do is to let it be known that others should be prepared for the same.
