Such a beautiful property in a stunning location. It’s not too far from anywhere so despite being in the countryside you can get onto the main quite quickly and easily. The property inside is really nice. We had the 2 bedroom apartment and it was very spacious and clean with all the kitchen facilities. There was not one thing we needed - everything was provided. It was like a home from home.
