This is a recently built, modern villa with double glazing and well insulated. I am a teacher of Classical Studies (Ancient Greece and Rome). Being a traveller myself, and having visited 76 different countries (still going strong!), I enjoy the company of other travellers and have lots of travel stories and experiences to share. There is a separate library room where I store all the exciting artefacts and souvenirs that I have brought back with me over the years.

    House is amazing, spacious, conveniently located. The ensuite room and bathroom are very nice and clean.

    Only problem we had was, in summer it gets really hot without any fan/AC. If you can provide a portable fan it would be the best place to stay in the most affortable price.

    We really enjoyed our stay with Tim as he is easy going to share his travel experience and knowledgeable information. Modern house with tidy room we like it.

How do I book?

Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.

When do I pay?

Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.

When can I share my contact details?

Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
