Notes:

Children are welcome but because the house has balconies and the garden, a pond, a well, steps and decking built out from the hillside, very young children do need a high degree of supervision to unsure their safety. The bathroom and shower room are on the first floor, so it is essential that any guest can manage stairs. We ask that smokers only do so outside, either on the balcony or the terrace. The playroom on the first floor, has two children's beds in it, but you do have to go through this room to reach one of the double bedrooms and both the bathroom and shower room. We have books, games and puzzles for both kids and adults and a full sized table tennis table.

VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

gap, Chester-le-Street
Review Submitted: March 11, 2008, Date of stay: June, 2007

The description of this villa does not do it justice. We have thoroughly enjoyed several peaceful holidays there. The villa has beautiful views overlooking the valley with the Alps in the distance. It is situated in an ideal location for touring around Italy's best wine producting regions. The owners are charming hosts and provide beautifully cooked evening meals with their own wine on request.

If you want to recharge your batteries I thoroughly recommend this villa and region.
