Absolutely stunning location right on the beach with a gorgeous view. Modern clean and beautifully decorated. We had the best week celebrating my daughter's first birthday and festilia visiting family on the island. My daughter loved exploring the house and beach, taking us to the beach from the living room every opportunity she had and even took her her first steps.We will definitely be returning, and staying here again.

Idyllic Beach House on Armona

Trisha's beach house on Armona is really lovely and in a perfect location on the island, just steps from the beach and very close to the ferry, The house itself is very comfy and nicely decorated throughout. We really enjoyed our stay there and have already booked to go back next year!!

This was an amazing choice! Couldn't be better located for a quiet week with a 4year old. Amazing venue. Only thing is the bed (couple bed) was not good at all... And it would be good to have small lamps by the beds in the other rooms. Other than that it was amazing! Very good kitchen and terrace and most of all, getting out of the house directly to the beach. thank you.

Always a pleasure

I have stayed on Armona a few times over last 7-8 years and this is my favourite house. Location from ferry great, as not too far to walk with suitacses/ bags etc but very private. Roof terrace a lovely bonus.

My second happy stay 😊

With 3 disabled oldies, we needed a property close to the beach, shops and restaurants. The house has it all as well as 2 bathrooms and 2 very user friendly showers. It’s a short walk to the sea which is perfect for all. As avid bird watchers, we were thrilled to see loads from the house and the upstairs balcony.

Wonderful Week

The location is great - a few steps from Armona-Ria beach, in a quiet place and not far from cafes and mini markets. Fantastic view from the terrace. The house is spacious, well decorated and the bathrooms are very good. It has everything needed for cooking. The cleanliness of the exterior and terrace needs to be improved and one of the mattresses in the first double bedroom needs to be changed as the springs can be felt.

A few niggles

This was our tenth visit to Armona and we love the island. We were disappointed with the welcome we received from the person appointed to show us to the house. Our polite enquiries regarding the gas stove and the working of the television were met with incredulity that we could not instantly master their workings. The house needed some work eg the kitchen tap was unstable, only three out of the four gas rings were usable and the roof terrace lights did not work so we could not use it at night.

Disappointing stay at an overpriced house

On arrival at 11pm the beds were unmade and deficient of linen, the hospitality was poor, 1 dirty cloth, 1 dirty tea towel and 1 small towel per person. The sink was leaking and there was a gas leak under the hob. The house was not clean and the shower had sand left in it from the previous tenant. With the four of us that were staying here we had only 1 fork, 1 spoon, 1 plate and one, 1 blunt knife, each. Needless to say we will not be returning to stay at this house again.

Great location, inventory needs improvement

All what is written in other reviews is true. The location of the house is really great. Close to the Ria beach. Atmosphere on the island is fantastic. The house is cosy and fully equipped. What gave us mixed feelings was that the inventory left much to be desired in many places. We offered to indicate what was wrong, but there was not much interest in this. Most dangerous thing we had was a glued-on wing of a ceiling fan that came down. Fortunately, the fan was not running. I don't want to think what would have happened if the fan had been running at full speed. The washing machine was unusable and no alternative offered. Showering with occasional hot water. Outside bench looks fantastic on the photos, but unfortunately now so dirty that you don't dare sit on it. 2 outside chairs and 1 inside chair that you can sink through at any moment and unfortunately this was not all. We tried to be as little as possible bothered by the defects and so we still had a fantastic time at Armona. Thank you very much for staying at your house.

Apesar da boa localização, o imóvel apresenta algumas falhas, nomeadamente não possuí pratos, tem poucos talheres, forno não funciona, a loiça, tachos, frigideiras guardadas encontravam-se sujas, quartos muito escuros com cheiro a mofo. Não tem ar condicionado (ventoinhas de tecto são insuficientes e fazem muito ruído).Cadeiras para praia anunciadas, encontram-se danificadas, espreguiçadeira de pano (existente na cobertura - terraço) encontra-se rasgada.Local possuí câmaras de vigilância ilegais pelas quais os proprietários observam os clientes infringindo a privacidade dos mesmos. Situação bastante desagradável que nos levou à apresentar queixa nas autoridades. Apesar da beleza natural da ilha e do conformo da localização da casa, não aconselhamos a estadia na mesma.

About the host

Hosted by Trish harmer

Host profile image
We are from the UK and purchased the property in 2003, we spend as much time as possible on Armona and enjoying sharing the Armona experience with our guests.

Why they chose this property

We found the Island in 2003 and fell under the Armona spell. we were lucky to find a property for sale and in the perfect location on the Island. not to far from the ferry and on the best beach on Armona. Every day living is very easy here with all amenities within easy walking distance.

What makes this property unique

Armona is such an amazing place. We have travelled to many other places and we have never found anywhere that is so unique. Many of our guest's come back year after year with some of them now purchasing there own properties.
Words really don't do the island justice and we are sure that you will have a fantastic holiday.
