Guestbook
Veronica,
Just a quick thank you to both you and Cecilia, for a superb holiday. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the facilites of your villa, especially the pool which we seemed to be in 5 times a day !!
We also enjoyed the fact that we were so handy for routes to lots of places which we wished to visit, so all in all, it was a highly successful visit.
We hope that we may have the opportunity of coming again sometime in the future.
Best wishes to you all,
Jenny and Tony (and Peter and Anne Berman)
We had another fantastic holiday in your Villa. The boys thoroughly enjoyed the pool, and Aidan was really pleased to receive a birthday present.
It was lovely to see Cecilia and Norman again, who certainly do you credit, showing genuine commitment to an enjoyable holiday. Even when there was the threat of bad weather, and possible power cuts, additional DVD's and emergency lighting was provided - far exceeding any expectations.
The Villa was even better than we had remembered, and we loved the new Sofas.
Looking forward to paying another visit next year.
Regards
Paul, Bev, Aidan and Harvey
