Positiv Überrascht
waren wir vom idyllischem Örtchen und dem zuerst schlicht anmutendem Haus, von innen jedoch sehr gemütlich eingerichtet und es fehlt wirklich an nichts. die Räume sind groß und man kann in der Küche sehr gut selbst kochen. Der Anblick von der Veranda oder aus dem Pool auf die Hügel und Berge ist wunderschön und sehr entspannend und für Menschen die Ruhe suchen, genau das Richtige. Ein identisches Haus ist zwar direkt nebenan, doch war es zum Glück nicht vermietet, sodass wir wirklich für uns waren. Schlafzimmer und Bäder sind zweckmäßig eingerichtet und der Blick aus dem großen Balkon ist morgens besonders schön. John als Vermieter ist sehr freundlich und die Kommunikation auf englisch war auch einwandfrei - auf Wünsche wurde stets positiv reagiert. Man ist in den Bergen und dennoch in knapp einer Stunde am Meer, einfach herrlich. Wir sind sehr froh, dass wir uns spontan für diese Unterkunft entschieden haben. Der Aufenthalt hat ganz ehrlich unsere Erwartungen übertroffen.
