The sound of the wind in the trees and the birds are a relaxing complement to the experience. The location is perfect, a few minutes driving from everywhere, whether you like to visit nurseries, wineries, eateries, or beaches. There are also plenty of areas to walk without using the car and enjoy being in touch with nature.
