The house itself is lovely, with spacious bedrooms that offered plenty of comfort and room to relax. The highlight for us was the ensuite bathroom, which provided a touch of luxury and convenience. The local area has a lot to offer, making our stay even more enjoyable. Just a short walk away is a Co-op, perfect for picking up groceries and essentials. Thereâs also a charming little pub down the road where we enjoyed some cozy evenings with friendly locals. The neighborhood felt incredibly homely and welcoming, adding to the overall positive experience. Additionally, the house had a well-equipped kitchen, allowing us to prepare meals with ease. The living room was cozy, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The garden was a pleasant surprise, offering a nice outdoor space to relax in the mornings or evenings. However, there were a couple of minor downsides. The Wi-Fi connection was a bit spotty at times, which made it difficult to work remotely. Also, parking was a bit tight, especially during peak hours. Overall, our stay at 24 Via Devana was wonderful. The lovely house, combined with the convenient local facilities and the homely feel of the neighborhood, made for a memorable trip. We would definitely consider staying here again on our next visit to Moria.

All of the beds and sofas were super comfortable. The house was spotlessly clean. Great selection of cooking facilities and equipment. It felt like a home from home. We'd definitely stay again.
