The property itself was beautiful, well equipped, and had a fantastic pool with amazing views. Unfortunately, our overall experience was disappointing due to several issues that significantly affected our stay. The access to the property was much more difficult than expected, with the final 10–12 minutes requiring driving on narrow, steep, unpaved gravel roads with twists and sharp bends. On our first visit to the nearby village, our car became stuck and was unable to make it back up one of the steep paths, meaning we had to take a completely different route back. After this experience, we were unable to return to that village, and the nearest alternative shop was over 30 minutes away.
During our stay, we also had several issues with wildlife, including finding a mouse in the pool on two occasions, wasps and other creatures in the pool, and a lizard inside the house. While some wildlife is expected in a rural setting, these issues affected our comfort and enjoyment of the property. We do appreciate that the owners have installed nets on all the windows and by each door to help prevent flies and mosquitoes from entering the house, which was a thoughtful addition.
We also experienced an issue with the air conditioning, where turning one unit down to 18°C caused all the units to switch off. We were later told by the owner that the air conditioning should not be set below 24°C, but this restriction was not mentioned in the listing. This would have been useful information to know before booking.
We would like to mention that the owners were very helpful, friendly, and always responded quickly whenever we needed assistance.
