We had a fantastic time here (late Oct 2012). If you think the gardens look lovely in the photos you would be right – but there is lots more to see and Marti is correct in saying , most of the time it’s just the sound of the birds you hear..... If you are looking for a quiet private villa with easy access for exploring the island at a reasonable price – I am not sure you could do better... Marti was very helpful – his map for directions is good and accurate so we found the place fairly easily. The pool was still warm enough (just!!) and the outside cooking facilities amazing... Would highly recommend.
