I cannot adequately put into words the perfection that was our stay here. Barbara and her family are the most genuine, kind people, and you can tell they love what they do; Barbara has spared no detail in every room of the apartment, from flower petals in the ice cubes (!) to flowers, candies, and handwritten notes throughout the house. The home was built by a family member and includes a large Italian marble floor (so exquisite!). The kitchen was fully stocked with all we'd need to cook a meal after a long, tiring journey. Additionally, the family provided fresh eggs from the chickens and wine and pastries! truly, no detail was overlooked. The place has a zen-like quality, and for the first time on our trip, I was able to fully relax and take in the air; we sat on the balcony each night and drank wine and wrote in our journals. The property is surrounded by beauty -- a lovely garden at our disposal for herbs for cooking, trails and mountains/lakes, and a delightful restaurant less than 2 minutes walk from the home. On one morning, I was ill and not ready to drive the car, and so Barbara's son graciously offered to drive us into the town and became somewhat of a tour guide for us that day (MANY THANKS!). I have already said I will return to this place again in the future. Thank you, Barbara! What a special place you have.
