Absolutely recommendable!
Absolutely recommendable! We had a wonderful stay. We were warmly welcomed with regional specialties (wine, olive oil, jam) and felt very comfortable. Fantastic sea view! Atmospherically lit garden in the evening! Lots of seating in the garden! Absolutely recommendable!

Abgeschiedenheit und trotzdem alles in der Nähe
Das Haus liegt etwa zehn Autominuten vom nächsten Ort entfernt. Sehr schöne Tavernen und Supermärkte. Es liegt sehr abgeschieden, vollkommene Privatsphäre.
Der Pool ist zwar sehr klein aber ausreichend. Die Aussicht ist wunderschön! Die Gastgeberin ist sehr freundlich. Eine kleine idyllische Badebucht mit Sand und Felsvorsprünge ist zu Fuß erreichbar (es geht sehr steil runter und dann wieder sehr steil rauf!).Mit dem Auto nur ein paar Minuten zu fahren.
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Wunderschönes Ferienhaus in Südlage
Sehr schönes gepflegtes und sauberes Haus in ruhiger Berglage und tollem Meerblick. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und entspannt. Die Besitzerin kam alle 2 Tage zum frische Wäsche bringen und nach dem Rechten zu schauen. (bei nur 7 Tagen Aufenthalt wäre das nicht unbedingt notwendig gewesen) wer katzenallergisch ist, sollte aufpassen..auf der Terrasse wohnt die Hauskatze, die zum Inventar gehört. Auch wäre ein geländegängiges Auto von Vorteil. Die Strasse zum Haus ist zum Teil unbefestigt.

Très bon séjour !
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour ! La maison est propre et relativement bien équipée. L'extérieur est très agréable avec la piscine (bien que très petite, plutôt un bassin). Une femme de ménage passe tous les deux jours redonner un petit coup de propre et change les serviettes et les draps.
Quelques petits "moins" à noter :
- L'accès est très compliqué, prévoyez une voiture avec un bon moteur :)
- Le principe de climatisation est un peu compliqué à gérer : toutes les fenêtres de la maison et la porte doivent être fermées pour pouvoir l'utiliser > Difficile à gérer si une personne veut se coucher plus tôt.
- Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de lave vaisselle (et de micro ondes)
- Nous avons eu 2 coupures d'électricité de plusieurs heures lors de notre séjour
