Serra: family friendly design-led countryside house & pool

We had a wonderful stay in Serra. The house has such a peaceful atmosphere and is beautifully designed, with every detail carefully thought through. Everything feels luxurious and is of excellent quality. We also really appreciated the chilled bottle of wine waiting for us in the fridge, together with some delicious snacks. It was such a thoughtful and welcoming touch. The garden and swimming pool are fantastic. We especially enjoyed using the outdoor kitchen and barbecue and spending long evenings together as a family under the pergola.

To be honest, we loved the property so much that we spent all three days of our stay simply relaxing by the pool, reading our books, going for a swim, and preparing delicious meals in the well-equipped kitchen. The family staying in the other house were very friendly, while at the same time we had plenty of privacy to enjoy our own space.

Our children, aged 12 and 16, loved the place too. They slept on the sofa bed in the living room, which was very easy to fold away each morning, so the living area stayed tidy and spacious during the day. They also loved the peaceful setting, the pool and, of course, the excellent Wi-Fi.

Jack and Becki are, without a doubt, the most organised hosts we have ever stayed with. Well before our arrival, we received all the information we needed, along with excellent recommendations for day trips, restaurants and supermarkets in the area. Check-in and check-out were both effortless.

It is clear that Jack and Becki rent out their homes with great care and genuine passion. We felt at home from the moment we arrived. Thank you for such a wonderful stay! We hope to come back again one day!
