Wonderful Stay

fresh croissants bright sun free wifi great addition
The breakfast was great. I enjoyed the fresh croissants and the good choice available. The room was wonderfully decorated and bright afternoon sun streamed through the window (it was like a summer dream!). Free WiFi was a useful bonus. I thought flannels were a great addition.
The signage from the street was not great. It was easy to miss in all but bright sunlight , made it a CHALLENGE to locate initially.
Location
9/10
The villa sits a short distance from a lovely restaurant called 1864, which I visited. A private parking area exists off a quiet road, really convenient. It made parking easy, and I felt the car was safe.
