The location and view was breathtaking. The pool areas was inviting and well maintained. The house was comfortable and the air conditioning was a welcome surprise. Nicole went out of her way to answer our questions. The highlight was the neighbours cats who came to visit

Nothing. Minor suggestion: Because of the remote location, it might be nice to have some coffee and cream left for guests.

Location and the amenities were good. The stay is one of a kind experience.

Fabulous "restaurant" room with big windows and amazing views, big table and cooking facilities - we spent nearly all our time at the house in there Flexible lock box check in and out Very spacious accommodation, both inside and out Plenty of bedding

The access road is a bit steep and rough. We could have managed it in our car but decided to park at the end of the tarmac (about 100m away) to be sure.

View from terrace and swimming pool

in one room there was a very creaking bed

We were met by Filipe who was helpful during our stay. The house is in a fabulous location for summer holidays but is isolated with a difficult access that should not be underestimated. Lovely walks nearby and a panoramic sea view. Once we got the hang of it, it was lovely to have wood burning heater in the living room and plenty of firewood but it could do with a better door and grate.

We were staying for Christmas so the facilities in the house were just as important as the surroundings. Unfortunately the reality did not live up to the expectations, created by the photographs. The house has the potential to be truly lovely but suffers from neglect. There were too many machines that did not work (microwave, coffee machine) or worked badly. The gas cooker was old with only two of the three gas rings working, a handle that fell off the oven when you opened it, and a dirt encrusted shelf inside. The cooker hood steel grill was hanging loose and needed a good clean. One of the sinks in the master bedroom leaked over the floor. The cupboards and shelves were full of old bits of electrical equipment, pans with the non stick surface worn off and a lot of unneeded, unwanted clutter needs to be removed. All the windows need a good clean so guests can enjoy that wonderful seaview. Previous reviews mention the dirt access road to the house which in winter is particularly rutted by tractors and rain streaming downhill. There is also another problem and that is the cement access ramp going up to the garden parking and the driveway itself. Both are bordered by single stones which are hard to see when driving in and out. After being left with my hire car suspended on the edge of the ramp going out of the house I believe that the owners are going to do something to improve the situation.

We enjoyed our stay so much. Lovely location with own pool and incredible views. Remote and clean house. Very communicable owners which meet guests with vine and food) and provide with any information during all stay. Unique peaceful place to meet sunset and sunrises) Best for the group as well for twos

Very great views from windows, great location. Recommend.
