July 11, 2024Beyond expectations - well equipped and thoughtfully furnished... Breakfast bird watching on the patio, the sunsets are fantastic... In fact all so splendid we’ve changed our plans and moved down the road (to Ceu Azul) for the rest of our stay. See you soon.

July 11, 2024Very nice house with quiet atmosphere. We enjoyed it a lot and all the sounds of nature (birds, donkeys), as well as the sea view. Hope we can come back next year.

March 3, 2026One word: Paradise This spot is pure magic — honestly one of the most stunning places I’ve ever discovered. If it were possible, I’d make it my annual pilgrimage. Here, you feel completely at ease, almost as if the house has been waiting just for you. Everything is flawless: the deep calm, the tempting pool, the jaw-dropping views, the gentle atmosphere, and the rich local culture that surrounds you. A huge thank you for sharing such a heavenly retreat with us!
