“A Fantastic Family holiday!!!” We had a fabulous holiday at Escoffie, the house is comfortable and spacious, and has the most beautiful setting. We loved lazing around the pool and watching the wildlife butterflies, lizards, buzzards .... and later dining out on the verandah. This was especially great for us with the children. The gardens provided a fantastic exploring opportunity and it allowed us to relax and actually put our feet up!! There are lots of interesting places to visit in the region which is all so beautiful and picturesque. We especially loved taking a canoe out down the river! A fantastic and memorable day out. We hired a car which is obviously a must and found the house was in a great position for local supermarkets etc. All in all I would highly recommend this house. You won't be let down!!!

“A well facilitated and beautifully rural retreat with a fabulous pool.” We loved our stay at Villa Escoffie. Wonderful hosts with great local knowledge which was very welcome. Such a peaceful and relaxing location. It's remoteness was perfect for us but do be prepared to drive for necessary supplies. All in all, highly recommended and thanks to Mary and Jan for their great hospitality.
