Guestbook for Olive Grove House

“Olive Grove House lived up to the photos plus more. The house it self, has all amenities and items needed to enjoy a holiday, with a large BBQ area to relax in front of the beautiful panoramic views of the mountains .
The pool area was our party’s highlight as it offers absolute silence and peace.This was a great holiday had by my party and a lot of this was due to this idyllic villa and the surroundings of Monda. I will be taking advantage of this great holiday home again in the near future.” J. Simpson

We really enjoyed our stay at Olive Grove House. We were very comfortable and the house had everything that we could possibly need. The pool was very well used by the boys. The internet facility was really useful as we were able to keep in touch with the office, so we had nothing to worry about. And of course, the kids were able to keep in touch with their friends . We were so happy there and we found it very hard to leave.
We would definitely like to come back sometime, possibly during the summer months.- Murray family
