Reviewed Mar 27, 2026Super schönes Zimmer (Shark Room) mit fantastischem Blick aufs Meer. Große Gemeinschaftsküche mit allen Geräten, Esszimmer und Wohnzimmer sowie Balkon mit eingebautem Grill . Wir hatten allerdings das Glück, die einzigen Gäste zu sein.
Auf dem Balkon hätten wir uns zwei Sonnenliegen und einen Sonnenschirm gewünscht.

Reviewed Dec 31, 2025Beautiful view on the cliffs. The host was very welcoming and provided lovely sweet treats. A lovely big space with 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, nicely furnished and well equipped.
The house was very hot and, although there were fans in each bedroom, air conditioning would be a big bonus. Many of the sliding doors need to be replaced.

Reviewed Nov 8, 2025Wir hatten ein kostenloses Upgrade auf den Shark room und die Aussicht aus dem Bett ist wirklich fantastisch. Genau wie die Aussicht von der Terrasse. Die Gemeinschaftsküche ist super ausgestattet.
Es hätten statt der Delfine noch ein paar Wale vorbeischwimmen können ;-)

Reviewed Feb 5, 2023The place looked beautiful, well designed rooms and architecture. It was easy to find things around the house, and there was sufficient security. The views were absolutely mesmerizing, relaxing on the balcony actually made me forget about life for the weekend. The furniture was comfortable and the beds were amazing, I had really good sleep. Our host was very friendly and welcoming, and made sure we were settled in nicely.
Nothing. I have no complaints at all. The place was simply amazing. As far as my expectations and perspective goes, I simply could not find anything that I disliked about the place.
