The House of Shells

In the beautiful fishing village of Burgau, we find this house full of soul and stories to tell.
The house was all recovered in 2019, and became even more charming.
Its location could not be better for beach and dive lovers, in 5 minutes you can be at the beach.
The house is fulled equipped for you to enjoy each second of your stay.
Burgau is a small fishing village, Its most important attraction is the small beach of Burgau Beach, surrounded by mountains that protect it from the frequent wind characteristic of the Windward.

We want you to feel at home, but we humbly ask you to keep in mind the following:
- We are not a hotel, so we have neither room services nor a luggage room. Check in before 4pm is not always possible (it always depends on if we have guests leaving the same day. For this reason, the late check out may not be possible as well.
- Your reservation has our telephone contacts, so it is important that you always inform us by phone 1 hour before they arrive.
"We can check you in whenever it's convenient for you."
Please note, however, that since our accommodation is not a hotel unit, we do not have a reception, so all checks are between 10:00 pm and 11:59 pm will be charged a fee of € 25 to be delivered to the person who receives you
Between 0:00 a. m. and 7:00 a.m. m. the fee will be € 50 to be delivered to your arrival to the person who receives you.
On your arrival you will have rolls of toilet paper (2) but the rolls you need during your stay are your responsibility. This is a self catering accommodation!

What a charming little cottage and so typically Burgau. Check-in was simple (complicated only by me!) and whilst we barely needed to contact Marcia at all, when we did she was friendly and helpful. Suited our needs perfectly. Thanks Marcia.

Ho soggiornato con la mia famiglia (2 adulti e 1 bambino) per 1 settimana. La casa è in una posizione centrale ma non rumorosa. È accessoriata di tutto e molto pulita. La consiglio sicuramente
