We are 3 families with teenage kids, 12 persons in total, that over the last 10 years or so have spent our vacations together in various summer houses. This house however, outclass every house we've ever spent our vacations at.
Less than 10 minutes away from the nearest town, that has all the shops and amenities we needed, this is an extremely well-kept house, more than enough space for 12 people, with the most beautiful garden. It even has a yard for vegetables, so you can have fresh produce every day if you want. The pool is spacious, with more than enough sunbeds and chairs for all 12 of us. There's a gazebo with a seated area if you want to keep in the shade and have an espresso, and on the other side of the house, a table with seats perfectly suited for brunch or dinner.
You can of course barbeque, and there are games. A big garden. And the surroundings!! Peace and quiet, out in the countryside, with views of the area miles wide. Bikes for you to lend to get around if you're tired of walking.
Inside, the real gem - the greatest A/C setup, one in each bedroom and even in the common areas. Temperatures up to 39 degrees outside, not a problem. Nice and chilly inside, meaning a good nights sleep if you're like us and struggle to sleep if it's too hot. Wi-fi good enough for our needs, no downtime. Two kitchens, one on each floor- nothing missing. Dishwasher, of course. Washing machines on both floors. 4 bathrooms in total!! We really did not miss a single thing at this house - it was all there, it was beautiful and gave us the best vacation we've had in years!
Our host was fantastic, always quick to cater for any needs or providing answers to our questions. She even brought us cake and fresh fruit. She made us all feel very comfortable and at home, and does a great job maintaining the house and the beautiful garden - making this a perfect place to spend quality time with friends, family and loved ones. We cannot praise this place enough, and if we can we will certainly come back :-)
