Jonathan is more than a super host. It truly shows that he loves what he does and is interested in the well being of his guests. The decorative touches are homey and unique and one feels really like they moved into a decorating magazine, albeit, temporarily, without being too overdone.
The Garden villa we stayed at had everrrrrrything you could ask for and more. If you wanted to cook and stay in( well, who would really want to do that on vacation :-) ) you would find everything, from cutting boards to excellent knives, to other thoughtful amenities.
The grounds are beautiful, luscious, and calming, so well taken care of. We were sorry to leave to our frozen north, but there is always next time and we are sure to return.
