one of the best vacation homes we've experienced

Description and pictures were true to representation.The hosts made everything seamless from airport transfers, to car rentals and chef services. Extremely well ran rental. The home was clean and decently appointed.Be sure to read the details- a 4x4 is NECESSARY if you plan to drive yourself in/out of home. Lots of things to do within an hour or less of home.

This is a very nice property with spectacular views. The house was modern and clean. However, there is no air conditioning on the main level. All bedrooms have air conditioning. The road up the mountain is paved and easy. travel. There is a short teavel.
