A really excellent family holiday

From the minute we arrived we knew the villa was just what we'd been looking for. The ages of our boys, two at 16, two at 12 meant that we could have been on top of one another but the layout ensured that they each had their own piece of privacy and we had ours. In particular we liked being away from any other property; it was truly private without being too far from food and drink. The younger boys, despite being mid-October, were in the pool every day too. The only thing I would point out is that you should make sure you don't come in too wide a car as the road doesn't lend itself to width. When you get used to it, it's not a problem although I can imagine for those used to straight stretches of city and motorway tarmac, it may give you slight palpitations to begin with. Easy once you get used to it, though.
Worth heading into the medieval villages that you can see atop the nearby hills. Had one of the best Spaghetti Carbonaras I've ever had in my life in a small hilltop town, in a restaurant that didn't even have a menu. Sorry but I can't remember the name of the town, only that we'd turned right at the foot of 'our' hill and this town was several miles further along, up right and then a steep climb upwards. That was half the fun, just driving and seeing what came next.
I have already passed on the property details to friends and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone else looking for a really unique place.
