Peaceful area and home is good for a large group
We enjoyed our stay in this residence, the area is very tranquil even though it is in the middle of a working vineyard. There is a lovely garden, a decent bbq in the courtyard and the swimming pool kept the kids entertained. For a large group of close friends or family this house works well as there are a few lounge areas, 2 indoor and 1 outdoor dining areas and 3 bedrooms have an ensuite. There were some minor issues - oven needs a good clean, floors had a lot of dust / dirt in corners, no one could sleep on the trundle bed as it was way too uncomfortable and a lot of things were for small people (glasses and towels mainly).
