Nice apartment with everything we needed, even on rainy days. Cozy cats.

Very good contact with our host, the location of the apartment was central to enjoy visiting a part of the island every day and returning in the evening to rest.

There could just be a VMC (ventilation) in the bathroom because the humidity from the showers had a little difficulty evacuating.

The spectacular views and the tranquility of the place. Hot water works quite well. The camera is quite comfortable and the kitchenware is complete. The host's attention is simply spectacular and they left us a bottle of wine upon our arrival, which we greatly appreciated.

It says that it has heating and what there is is a split air conditioning in the living room. The bedroom and bathroom are very cold and you freeze. I think the cleaning could be quite improved: a pillow with a bad smell, cobwebs and crumbs on the floor.

Mluisa - 04/10/2026

The views and the comfort of the beds. The staff was efficient giving good restaurant recommendations. They left a complimentary bottle of wine

The first thing is the slopes to access the apartment, including parking on the curve and uphill, which is a challenge. The neighbor's dog won't stop barking all night. One of the rooms did not have any outside light. The apartment smelled musty and we found a couple of worms in the bathroom There are no switches to turn off the light next to the bed and you have to get up to turn it off. There are also no plugs, or you have a table light or mobile charges. And I had trouble getting the invoice from the place.
