This is a place one could spend a week in and not need to leave as it has everything.

The owner had gone to every expense to make sure our stay was a pleasant one. We really appreciated every aspect and canât possibly comment on all of it here in such a brief time but a few bonuses were the welcome basket with wine, bread etc. Milk and butter in the fridge. A washer/dryer. Key in a lock by the door so we could arrive and let ourselves in. The fire place. Quaint garden. Artwork and charming touches throughout. Very clean and looks like new. Communication and the information booklet in the apartment was great. Picture perfect area. Parking space was always available. If I could have a place like this every time I travelled I would be very content! I would recommend this place for couples and families with older children and people ok with steps.

We really enjoyed the area even though the weather wasnât brilliant the town has plenty of good bars and restaurants. There is plenty of good walks in the area too we did the summer wine walk a bit challenging but great views and the vineyards are well worth a visit with lovely wine and great food. We would definitely go to the area again and stay at 1 Oakleys.
