"Great overnight stay at Villa Violet"
Owners were away when we stayed but all the staff were helpful and welcoming. Excellent early breakfast, fresh fruits and juices, cereals, cooked breakfast. Complimentary tea, coffee and biscuits available all day in the lounge area. Our hire car was delivered to the Villa where there was ample secure parking. Within walking distance of two good restaurants, taxied back when it was dark.
