nice spot, wrong informations in the advertisment
Josephine and her husband Marc are very nice people and the place is lovely, very well restaurated and special (therefore i would give them 5 of 5 stars).
But the inscreption is in many points wrong.
It was advertised for two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the internet, but we actually only got one.
You´re not allowed to use the kitchen seen in the photos, it s private (and some other stuff).
When we came, they were hosting french friends and italien artists, preparing an exhibition in that place. The people were all nice, but its more a grown up commune (and we felt to be the only one, paying for that place).
There is no breakfast included to the reservation.
The beach is about 25 minutes away.
The needle on the map is wrong, so it took us some time to find the place.
If these circumstances would have been more clear in advance, especially that this is some kind of a french-family-commune, we wouldn´t have booked this place. But for people, who like this style of holiday, it can be very sweet.
Anyway, they were very helpful, canceling our booking and giving us the money back, due to the wrong terms of conditions.
