    It might be close quarters for six people, which is the nominal capacity. For the two of us it was luxurious, and the tavern next door has excellent food even if snails are not your thing.

    The house had was over complete: towels, kitchen towels, spices, olive oil, vinegar... Just outside the lovely house in the countryside there was a nice restaurant where you could have a good fresh meal for very small prices.
