"Fantastisk udsigt! Sød indehaver og søde katte! Sengene af varierende kvalitet. Ved længerevarende ophold kommer man til at savne mulighed for at støvsuge og gøre lidt rent. Udenomsareal og havemøbler meget ufærdigt og spartansk. Meget venlig og serviceminded personale, som man kan kontakte døgnet rundt. Meget stejlt i bjergene, så taxa eller lejebil er et must. Vi nød at kunne være private, men man skal være indstillet på at indehaveren bor i underetagen. Udgang til altan/terrasse fra alle rum...

"Selten so ein spartanisch und lieblos eingerichtetes Ferienobjekt erlebt. Es fehlte an grundlegender Ausstattung (wie zB. Schneidbretter, Toaster, scharfe Messer, genügend Geschirr). Wenn ihr immer auswärts essen wollt, geht es.Fahrstuhl ging nicht, was mit Gepäck schwierig war.Kein Esstisch im Zimmer. Es fehlen Möglichkeiten zum Aufhängen von Sachen (Garderobenhaken).Schlafzimmer: Betten sehr schmal und eher unbequem. Bettablage ist fast abgefallen. Zimmer nach vorne raus nur für Menschen mit...

"Der Blick vom Balkon ist einfach traumhaft. Die Lage absolut ruhig, da in einer Sackgasse. Zu einer wilden Badebucht sind es ca. 10 Gehminuten, zu einem bewachten Badestrand 2,5 km. Von den Bernardo und Maria bekamen wir Mangos aus dem eigenen Garten, die waren so lecker, dass wir jetzt zu Hause erst mal keine Mangos mehr kaufen werden, da sie uns nur enttäuschen würden. Es gibt zwar nur 1 Kochplatte, die aber sehr schnell heizt, dazu eine Mikrowelle mit Grill. Es ist alles da, was man brauchen...
