The garden is beautiful and mysterious, the house iscomfortable and the interior tasteful, the view isbreathtaking. After a few moments you know that you are injust right place. The garden is surrounded with the vineyardswhich produce the wine perfectly matching the place, in Urradi Mare you can taste the scents that you feel in the air... Adnwhat a nice surprise finding a cold bottle of this wine waitingfor us when we arrived as well as fresh ricotta and figs fromthegarden. You just can't dream it better. After just couple of daysin this amazing place we were relaxed, fresh and just happy...We couldn't recommend Profundo Blu more..."Molly Bartlett, 13 June 11"Excellent villa and the owners were very gracious andwelcoming. We would gladly stay there again! It was reallygreat! Our whole family was able to be together for a veryrelaxing week in a spectacular location."oven deserves special mention... My most special memory wasgetting up at dawn and watching the sun rise over the hillslistening to the sound of the sea and the local cockerel -magical! The local produce left for us by the owners was also areal treat especially the figs picked from trees on the estate(unbelievably delicious!)."Gianluca Luciano, 6 August 11"The location was overwhelming. We were in awe. We neededone full day to let it sink in: the absolute beauty of the pristinenature of the reserve in which the villa is nestled. The wildsheep, the deer, the agave swaying in the salty breeze. Thecharm of every single detail of the interior decoration. We feltwe were cast in a different world and had the chance to be apart of it. The family photographs on the wall somehow endedup feeling a bit our own. I cannot recommend it more.
