Quiet village location (1 shop!), the house appears tiny outside but is spacious inside, with plenty of room for family of 4 plus all our luggage! All amenities are provided, we didnt lack for anything it’s a wonderful base for exploring the area: we’d highly recommend it! (Just be aware if you’re staying over a weekend which includes 15 August, the whole village is jumping until 4am with loud live music!)
