Home truths
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance and bring your own linen. The swimming pool is 1.55m deep and isn't fenced so children will need to be supervised at all times.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There’s free parking for up to two cars under the carport.
The nearest supermarket for stocking up is 1.7km away.
The villa will be cleaned and the linen changed every seven days.
