incredible view and gardens
This house is beautiful, well maintained, with incredible gardens and view. the only draw back is the lack of bathrooms for the number of beds....one of the bedrooms off the kitchen is awkwardly located, and another is across the entire house from a bathroom. The staff is delightful, Christina is a good cook, and everyone was super helpful in arranging outings for a 3 generational family. We had a wonderful vacation at Casa Britto.
