Beautiful old villa apartment in charming setting.
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (51)
"Tucked down a driveway this accommodation is quirky and interesting. It is one half of the house but quiet even though people right next door. Easy parking. Beds were comfortable and there was everything we needed. Gas fire very cosy in the drawing room. Close enough to town, and the water tower is in walking distance up a track close by. Can I suggest the rangehood gets a good clean (it was sticky by the buttons on top to turn it on) and also the alarm clock was too difficult to set."
