What a fabulous stay, everything was perfect! Upon arrival, we were welcomed by Tuti and Peter who are superb hosts. The villa was quiet, private, clean, spacious and very comfortable. All rooms are presented to a very high standard with a touch of luxury. This place has been thoughtfully setup, it had everything we needed for our stay and more we were very impressed! Loads of amenities, toiletry items, cooking supplies, variety of board games, books and DVDs, they truly have thought of everything! We were very fortunate with the weather during our stay as well, the view of the mountains were absolutely breathtaking and did not disappoint. Thank you Peter and Tuti for your lovely hospitality, for going above and beyond. We hope that we will be lucky enough to come back to your slice of paradise in the future.

    The cottage was very big and the backyard space was huge, amazing moutain views. Jane was very helpful.There was also a really cute room at the top which had enough space for a family of 4 and there were stunning views from the windows.The trampoline was the most fun my kids ever had on a trampoline. Breakfast was provided in the cottage.
