This is hands down the best VBRO property I have ever rented. The decor is sophisticated, the furniture including the beds are very comfortable. The linens are high quality and plentiful. The arrangement was conducive to gathering both inside and out. The kitchen was extremely well equipped with high end appliances. We cooked several complicated meals, nothing we needed was missing. The ‘basic’ supplies of coffee,tea,sugar and even spices are more and generous. The host,Gerard, was very prompt in communicating. I highly recommend this property. You will not be disappointed!
