After three weeks in New Zealand , I can say this is one of the best accomodations we had. The house is spacious, clean and very quiet. The view is wanderful, you can appreciate it even from your bed. We are Italian and we are demanding about food. Our Guest prepared for us a wondeful dinner, New Zealend ingredients prepared... More

Recently we stayed with Linda and Guy. They are generous and welcoming hosts. Our room was fresh and clean with a hint of Provence. We shared the evening meal with other guests and our hosts. The food was plentiful and the wine flowed as did the laughter. A wonderful evening was enjoyed by all.

On a hilltop outside of town, Linda and Guy Bucchi have re-created a bit of Provence--in the furniture and decor, in the cuisine (you can have a delicious five-course meal), in the sensibilities and creative energies...
