Initially the charger for electric cars wasn't working. The owner went out of his way to get them to work, which was a really kind gesture. Fantastic place on all fronts.

We loved the style and rooms of the house, the pool area and surroundings. A very good wine at dinner time, and we particularly liked the starter.
