Wonderful

It was just for a weekend but it was great. It's not a luxurious house but the location, outdoor space and view were amazing. Very comfortable and great ratio of money/accommodation.

Fantastic place
The house was very clean, more than enough space in and outside the house, big kitchen. Very complete, the garden had a nice terrace. But the best is the view from the house at the mountains, forest and all the birds singung around the house! We had a fantastic holiday!

Nice view, spacious but a bit outdated
The house is beautiful in the hills with a great view. In November it can be too chilly and damp. We needed al lot of electric heating for that. The kitchen could be better equipped but has a lot. The matrasses in the beds were way too hard to be comfortable. That should be changed soon.
Overall a good place to stay. But maybe better in summer than in winter.

Thank you for your detailed review. We’re glad you enjoyed the beautiful view, the spacious house and the overall location.
We’re sorry to hear that the mattresses felt too hard and will review this for future improvements. We also apologize for the lack of communication regarding the garden workers.
Your comments about the heating, eco-friendliness and kitchen equipment are appreciated, and we will look into possible upgrades.
Thank you again for your feedback. It helps us improve, and we hope you will consider staying with us again, perhaps in the summer to enjoy the location even more.

Excelent!
Not only the site is gorgeous with an incredible mountain view, but the house itself is really wonderful.
There is a small supermarket and a bakery about 5 minutes by car, and of course, the amazing north side of the Island to discover.
We weren't blessed with the best weather, but even in the few times it rained, we had a lot of outside locations around the house were we could relax, or even barbecue!
If it didn't rain it was even better! So I recommend taking a good book, whatever meat/veggies you prefer for the barbecue, take long deep breaths and enjoy.
It's a really comfortable place to be in.
