the location is up a hill, so we took the car everywhere, but there was a cafe and bread shop we could have walked to. On the last day we checked out the pool, which is higher up the hill behind the house, but it was crowded. we enjoyed having dinner on the terrace out front. the kitchen is quite small, but very well equipped with whatever you may need. one of the bathrooms is new and gorgeous, but be aware that there was neither toilet paper nor soap upon arrival. the pull out sofa bed, is just that, so not very comfortable, and would be fine for children or petite adults. there are air conditioning remote controls in each room, some of which work better than others. all in all the house worked great for the 7 of us.
