A lovely location with an interesting host who made our visit very memorable.my husband played bowls with Mario on the bowling green below the house.
Charming home, full of character and history, spectacular location, gracious host. Only wish we could have stayed longer. Thanks to Mario for a wonderful visit.
The weather might have been miserable but it was a lovely place to stay for a night after all day travelling. Set us up nicely for the next day's winery visits.
Mario was a great host. Always available and accommodating. Would return.
