Hot and Buggy
3 ladies (1 Brit, 2 Americans) visited for 6 nights in April 2019.
Comments:
We had not noticed in the description that a/c is only in the main double bedroom. This was our fault but it had a negative impact on our stay.
The apartment, as evidenced in the photos and others’ reviews, is small and fairly basic.
Each bed has a mosquito net covering it. The nets in the smaller bedroom had holes in them but didn’t seem to let bugs in.
Pros:
The garden and pool area are just beautiful. The pool is very clean, the stone flagging around the pool is gorgeous. The extensive gardens are beautifully landscaped. There were plenty of chairs and loungers.
Mme P was very welcoming and showed us around the apartment. She had kindly provided some preserves and brioche for our first breakfast. We conversed in French.
The apartment was clean and looks like the photos provided. Linens and towels were provided.
The shower pressure in the 2nd bathroom was excellent.
Cons:
There were no screens on the windows, only wooden shutters. This meant that bugs (especially mosquitoes) were everywhere in the house (apart from the main bedroom. We kept that bedroom door firmly closed, to conserve the a/c in that room and to try and keep out bugs. They still got in). From our previous stay the week prior in St Lucia, this seems to be fairly common in the Caribbean. In our St Lucia house, the main part of the house had shutters but no screens. However we did not have so many issues there with mosquitoes. In Mme P's apartment, we got bitten fairly regularly. We enjoyed some drinks one sunset at the pool and got bitten there also.
We kept the shutters closed in the second bedroom, to try and prevent bugs and mosquitoes from entering. This made the room very hot. After a rainstorm, the sheets on the bed were very humid and uncomfortable too.
