Walks are on foot from the middle of each side, roughly; carts take about a third of the time. Prices are what places publish, the middle half of them.
Prices are the lowest night each place publishes, usually in low season; places that don’t publish one aren’t shown under a budget.
Two or three places within a short walk of each other that sleep your group between them, so everyone is together without one huge villa.
