Greetings All:
If you are looking for a place to feel like “home” and yet to be so far from “home” – this is it!! What a wonderful location; great access to all things desired, fully supplied with all furnishings needed – and a more relaxing feel than was thought possible.
I took my sisters and their husbands for a surprise holiday and once I decided upon Isola d’Elba, I chose this Villa. A better choice could not have been made!! It all started with the support, information and service provided by the Owner, Cristina. This was my first holiday rental in this manner and she took care of all my questions and alleviated my concerns.
The island itself has much to offer and we were able to mix in sight-seeing, with beaching, with relaxing. It was very nice and most certainly, another week would have been nice too (but then we never would have recovered from being behind at work!!).
The Villa could not have offered anything more. Clean, Well-Furnished, Shaded when needed, Sunny when desired, Quiet (well, except when the Street Sweepers came by!), Every meal was taken outdoors with no issues - overall, just GREAT!!!
Just one VERY minor negative – no internet!! But then if it was available, many of us would have felt obligated to “work” and that would have defeated the purpose of a vacation!!
I know – crazy Americans!! We are still learning how to take holidays – but this Villa, the Owner, the help, the locale – well, they all gave us a great idea of what a proper holiday is like. Now - I am struggling with where we should go next!!
So … many thanks Cristina (and Jackline and Di)!!!
And for those of you “looking” – look no further!!!
