We enjoyed at wonderful time at Villa Maria thanks to the hospitality of George/ Maria (thank you once more for everything, especially your kindness and being always available in case of need!).The house was great (very clean and very well equiped with everything you need), the view was amazing and the garden/ pool a nice place to rest/ play for the kids.Highly recommended and happy to come back.
