Summary: Pros: We loved being in the countryside, views, sunsets,birdsong. The hosts were gracious and attentive.Of course the great swimming pool was not on our agenda since it was still cold in March.In the apartment the hosts had made a great effort to supply all “mod cons”plus iron and ironing board, etc. A lovely surprise was the array of foods provided on our arrival. The nearby restaurant Elvira was excellent.Cons: The various kitchen appliances were scattered across the kitchen area and in the room with the water heater, obviously an afterthought of the design.The beds were old and narrow doubles, the pullout couch sagged. The lighting in the living room was glaring.However, overall, the price is right.
