Tranquile place
It was all very well organized and a super place to stay. Perfect shower, perfect bed, super cosy cottage, though small, but you don’t need more. Very nice terrace (neighbours used it to go to the olive garden, passed our open house, which was a bit surprising as we really appreciate our privacy. As an extra I would mention that this is a collection of cottages, close to each other. Just to manage expectations. After all, Natura cottages is really a blessing, away from the hotels @ the coast. Keep up the good work, Lynn.

A beautiful retreat
We loved the beautiful Natura Cottages, and loved how peaceful it was. Our only wish was that the hammock had been a double so we could have lazed in the olive grove together! A perfect retreat, spotlessly clean, with everything we needed.

Gemütliche Unterkunft in ruhiger Lage mit allem, was man braucht. 1A Erholung
Lage und Einrichtung waren genau dass, was wir gesucht haben. Etwas zurück gezogen in einem kleinen Tal gelegen und ist man trotzdem in wenigen Minuten und an Strand und Tavernen.Die abendliche Ruhe zwischen den Olivenbäumen hat sehr gut getan. Hilfreiche Tips für Aufenthalt und Ausflüge gibt's vorher und und jederzeit vor Ort. Danke für eine schöne Zeit in einem tollen Cottage
