Un appartement conforme à la description et bien situé. Un séjour parfait

Location parfaitement située, proche de la mer, des restaurants et boulangerie. Tout y est. Petite attention à notre arrivée pour Noël. Très appréciée, merci encore! Appartement très propre et il ne manquait rien pour passer un très bon séjour. Les propriétaires sont à l'écoute et réactif. Je recommande vivement. Seul "petit" bémol (et je dis petit), la literie de la chambre principale. Un surmatelas serait un petit plus pour moins sentir les ressorts, mais peut être suis je trop difficile😉. Les enfants se sont plaints quant à eux du manque d'isolation phonique de la porte d'entrée ce qui rend le coin nuit du salon assez bruyant la nuit car pas mal de circulation. Mais si je reviens sur l'île je louerai de nouveau ici car l'impression reste excellente. Encore merci à Carlos et André. Et une fois encore meilleurs voeux😉

Host profile image

Surrounded by incredible beaches with crystal clear water, the Whaler's Houses are located in the center of a small and picturesque fishing village. Get ready to face the uneven gastronomy of this locality, to spend evenings at the end of the afternoon on the incredible beach terraces, so as not to want to say goodbye to this stunning and unequal population in the end.

Here, the sea meets the mountains and its thunderous fauna and flora, here you will know a charming fishing village that has always been linked to the sea and its customs. In this wonderful land of beaches and sun, delight yourself with the excellent and peculiar gastronomy rich in fish and seafood. Discover peace here. We already know her.
