"everything was execellent"

"This property is like a family cottage, friendly and cozy. The kitchen and both bathrooms have been modernized. Two main bedrooms, two bunk rooms great for families. We were two women so it was great to have a large bed and bathroom for each of us. The beach is very close and there is a "sea pool" there as well. The only negative is that you have to park at the street in public parking. This was not a problem for us as it was off season, it may be in high season. We enjoyed our stay. "

"Wonderfully clean hostel. "

"The property offers breathtaking, secluded, and truly unparalleled views—an absolute feast for the eyes! However, the path to the house was far more challenging than we anticipated. While we were aware of some elevation and rockiness, it exceeded our expectations in difficulty. If we had known, we either would have reconsidered renting or come better prepared, bringing food on our initial trip up to avoid multiple trips down and back.The listing also stated that the property was beachfront, but that was not the case, which added to our surprise. We stayed during the off-season when all the nearby restaurants were closed, which posed another unexpected challenge. This wouldn’t have been an issue had we known and planned ahead and brought provisions from elsewhere.For those prepared—both physically and mentally—this place is a gem. It’s a remote, serene escape with stunning scenery, but it’s vital to understand the physical effort required to access it. Come ready, and it’s worth the adventure!"
