Ideal location

We loved staying here. The cottage is nice and cozy with lovely views. The pool was perfect to cool off. Driving here was a little treacherous but worked out without problems.

This property had everything we needed! The shared pool was lovely and the views were amazing. We had some initial questions/concerns that the host was able to answer to help better our stay. Overall a lovely home. The road to get there is very steep and winding so I would just keep that in mind. Also, there is only one parking spot so if the other property is occupied the parking situation can be complex.

stylish country house

Beautiful stone house, with lots of wood. Small living room with kitchen on the ground floor, the sleeping area above accessible via steep wooden stairs. South facing, a small well-kept garden with a covered wooden bench, a small balcony with seating on the upper floor. Fantastic view over the wide Atlantic. A small pool is shared with the neighbors. The other facilities are functional, not luxurious. Access and driveway are quite steep in places, possibly difficult for those with physical disabilities. We felt very comfortable there.

Great cottage with the most stunning view

The cottage is a great place to stay if you want to explore the island and enjoy some pool-time. It is equipped with a renovated bathroom and a full size kitchen. The style is indeed quite rustical, but everything was very clean. The mattress must have been changed since one of the former reviews, it was quite thick and comfortable. There is no AC unit in the house, so letting air in whenever you can is necessary, but watch out for the stray cats as they may want to visit. You also shouldn’t have a problem with the small lizards as they also like to hang out. The outdoor area is the clear highlight of the property, the pool is newer and bigger than the one shown in the pictures even with a small waterfall. There are three double lounge chairs on the deck which are quite comfortable. From the deck and balcony you have an amazing view of the Atlantic Ocean and the banana trees around the house.

Very remote location

The positives beautiful view of the sea. the pool is lovely The negatives for me were. A lot of things in the property needed replacing or repairing. The road down to the property is so steep it was frightening and doing it on a daily basis was really scary. We had a tyre blow out coming down it was horrid. For that reason alone I wouldn’t stay here again . There were dogs barking for most of the night that drove us crazy. Everything in the house was because it needed to be equipped it wasn’t for comfort there were no little things to help like salt and pepper ,Just basic stuff fridge was broken shower rose wouldn’t stay up cupboards didn’t have handles no loo paper down the loo but no bin bags to put loo paper in. No pool towels. No bowl for washing up. . It just went a bit beyond rustic in my opinion.

Amazing terasse, cottage not so great

The view and the terrasse are great ! We didnt use the pool because the weather was a bit cold. We liked the wood fired bbqThe access is tricky and scary, but you need to trust the process, it's doable!The host Jorge is very responsive.Now for the cottage itself, we can't say we had a confortable stay...There are centipedes looking insects on the floor everywhere, including in the shower, and sometimes on the kitchen counter. We saw 3 mices (or 3 times the same one). We also saw slugs (3 times). There were A LOT of small ants on the kitchen counter.The kitchen is functionnal, but we needed to wash everything prior to use, because the dishes were dusty and smelled like old cabinet. There were missing some useful things, like a lighter or matches, a spare cloth to clean the surfaces (we were staying a week, so it got dirty pretty fast) or salt and pepper. The living room furniture were not very comfy, but clean.The bathroom was humid and moldy at some places. Lots of little flies. It was smelly when we arrived, too. There was no bag in the trash can, even if we are ask to put toilet paper in the trash can. We kept the fan running 24/7, but still everything stayed dampThe bed was clean and confortable.

Le cadre est magnifique (vue sur mer, piscine, maison très bien aménagée). En revanche ce n’est pas le cas pour la cuisine où les prises électriques et un minimum de produits pour cuisiner (sel, poivre, huile) comme on trouve dans les autres locations manquent. L’accès à l’hébergement étant difficile, il n’y a pas possibilité d’aller facilement faire des courses ou d’aller au restaurant à pied.

Points positifsLes photos sont conformes a la réalité. Très belle vue sur l océan. Très bonne réactivité de la part de Jorge Points negatifsLes ustensiles de cuisine sont rudimentaires et minimalistes La colonne de douche est a changerIl manque une porte fenêtre a l etage ( il n y a qu un volet).De ce fait, les aboiements d un chien du voisin nous a dérangés la nuit pour dormir. En raison d un accès par un caminho bétonné très très pentu et étroit , nous avons fait le choix de laisser notre véhicule sur la route en bas du gîte et remonter la pente comptant entre autre 70 petits escaliers.La piscine est non chauffée nous n avons pas pu nous baignerNous ne reviendrons pas à cette location

Es war nett, eine Menge Bananen als Willkommensgruß zu finden. Wir hatten vor der Reise um Brennholz gebeten, das nicht vorhanden war, aber auf Anfrage zügig und in ausreichender Menge geliefert wurde.Die Kommunikation mit dem Host war tadellos.Das Haus hätte sauberer sein können. Es war augenscheinlich über einen längeren Zeitraum nicht bewohnt und war staubig. Das Geschirr, das wir benutzen wollten, haben wir erstmal abgewaschen, weil es nicht sauber erschien. Die Teppiche und die Decke auf dem Sofa müssten dringend gewaschen werden.

Très joli petit chalet rustique avec une magnifique vue sur la mer. En réponse à certains commentaires, il faut se souvenir que le chalet est dans la nature et entouré de jardins, de bananiers et autres flores. Il y a donc de petites bestioles très inoffensives. Le village alentours est charmant, et j'ai bien apprécié le BBQ du vendredi soir au Bar Massapez. La piscine après les randos était bienvenue. Il est vrai que le chemin pour se rendre au stationnement de la Casa est plutôt intimidant, mais on s'y habitue. L'option de rester sur la route et prendre le court sentier au travers des bananiers est simple à gérer. Le lieu est aussi fort utile pour explorer le sud, le nord et l'ouest de l'île. J'y reviendrais dans hésitation!
