Well paced over 6 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. Would send friends their way.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Recommended.

Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy.
