December

Christmas

Christmas 2011
While there is no compulsory "live in" period for Christmas, and the Villa will be closed on Christmas Day so that staff can enjoy the day too, we would prefer that guests who wish to stay with us over the holiday period stay Christmas Eve (24 Dec) through to Boxing Day (26 Dec).

If however we have guests who arrive on Christmas Day we will not turn you away!

We will still, however have the feastive Christmas spirit around The Villa over the Christmas period with decorations, Chrissy cake etc although Christmas Day itself will be "DIY" for guests.

It will still be great - So come and spend great days with us over Christmas!!


Tree Trimming Party 13th of December

Tree trimming party with free wine, maybe mulled wine and Christmas cake, guests and staff decorating the big trees around and in The Villa a week or so before Christmas, very sentimental for some, lots of shmultzy Chrissy muzak.
