We review each country house on a scale of 3 to 5, with 5 being the best category. We have looked at price, quality and x-factor and come up with a comprehensive review, which is largely made with the heart, and therefore is very personal.

Next to the main house there is a two floors annex. The first floor is lived by the young owners, working all day long out of the property with agriculture and they are very happy to help if you have any questions. On the ground floor there is a newly restored apartment (50m2) for rent, ideal for 2 adults and a child. The small apartment can be rented together with the main house only.

The house is on two floors with a spacious arched veranda overlooking the garden and pool furnished with tables and chairs for al fresco dinners.
