"Beautiful and comfortable home. The listing was a little incomplete so it was unclear exactly what we were getting but pleasantly surprised. One very confusing experience is they never mentioned an actual couple lives on-site and are the hosts. They came by when we got there and were very kind and accommodating. It just would have been helpful to know they would be there. The listing said it was entirely self check-in. "

"A wonderful house that leaves nothing to be desired. The kitchen is perfectly equipped with plenty of crockery and utensils.

The owner also checked that everything was to our satisfaction. A perfect stay in a wonderful holiday home. And the sea and the cliffs, you just have to see them, just a few minutes walk away with...
