Rapport qualité prix médiocre

La cuisine équipée très sale. Obligé de racheter du papier toilette après 10 jours. Pas d'huile d'olive. Obligé de racheter du sel. Grille pain cassé. Râpe à fromage manuel cassée. Couteaux de cuisine qui ne coupent pas. Pour plus de €2000 pour 2 semaines, c'est très cher payé. Je déconseille fortement !!!!!!

Great hideaway!

Staying at the cottage was like being in a little hideaway up in the mountains. It was great to come back after a day exploring, to this peaceful setting. We enjoyed sitting in the terrace, having barbecues on a couple of evenings. The cottage in itself was comfortable - it had what was needed. The drive up to it was scary the first couple of times, but then, it was fine. And Merea is quite central to drive to the different areas around to explore. Communication with the host was great. Very kind and friendly. We had a lovely time here.
