We had the most fantastic stay at Sobrina - a family of 2 children and 2 adults. We loved having the three bedrooms to spread out in - they were large and beautifully decorated. Having an awesome washing machine and extremely well appointed kitchen made it really easy for us to function while travelling. The lounge room is so cosy and comfortable and the huge range of games and books kept us entertained when we were tired and keen to hang out together. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!
