What a find! The villa, the location, views and the peace and tranquility were amazing, just what we needed after a very busy year. Remote enough to be entirely peaceful, apart from the cries of the soaring eagles overhead and the church bells along the valley, but close enough to local amenities not to feel isolated. Local roads are interesting, steep and twisting but very manageable even in a large, low car!! The villa was superbly equipped with quality fittings and has a genuine home from home feel with everything you'd need, both inside and out for relaxing days by the pool and long evenings under the wisteria with a glass (or two) of the local wines... The visits from the friendly and very informative local baker were a treat, and the bread superb. Aulla railway station is a gateway to numerous locations if you don't want to drive or park, the shops have all you'd need and the information provided by the superb hosts Leo and Tim enabled us to plan our excursions along with long lazy days by the excellent and very welcome pool. Leo kept us well informed prior to the holiday and was in touch during our stay to check all was well. Any queries were answered promptly and she was always contactable should the need have arisen whilst in no way being intrusive. We would have no hesitation in recommending this property if you want a truly relaxing holiday in a stunning location - we'd love to keep this a secret, it's that special!!!
