Guest Book: We wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed staying in your beautiful home in Davoli. We never imagined such an extraordinary setting. The garden was so beautiful, and the views of the ocean from the veranda were magnificent.------ We had a lovely stay. The house was wonderful - it's so nice to be that close to the beach and the garden is beautiful with its wonderful views of the hills. We'd love to stay at the house again, the week went far too quickly but then holidays always do!
