Set in a lovely orchard, this is our favourite place for lunch/brunch outing or running amongst the orange trees. Friendly donkeys for the kids to chat too, and a little swing in the garden. 20 minutes drive.

The 360 degree views are breathtaking. It's only 15 minutes walk from the house, but it gets steep at the top (no prams).
