Great demonstration of what can be done with 'tiny'.
From our arrival till departure everything about our stay was amazing . Gary and Izzy were lovely hosts, my husband could talk their ear off and they were very accommodating . Our lunch picnic hamper we ordered was above expectations and absolutely to die for and we enjoyed that sitting among the olive trees. We walked around the farm, devoured the lavender icecream and bought some of their homemade olive oil. We have been raving about it to our family and friends
