We had a very nice stay at Snishival. The owner Julia was very pleasant, was solution-oriented and was always quick to respond whenever we had a question. The situation of the house was good - it was on a hill and it had great views in all directions - towards the mountains in the east and to the sea in the west. There is a short walk to get to the beaches in the west.It felt nice driving along the road to the house and the place had an "off the beaten track" feel to it which is something we like because the house was away from the main road there was no noise from traffic. The last part of the track was bumpy, but OK if you drive slowly on this part.The livingroom/kitchen area was very cozy and we spent the evenings here sitting by the fire. The kitchen was well stocked with kitchen equipment.I cannot think of any particular problems we had during our stay and we can recommend this house. We hope that Julia continues to rent this out, because we would absolutely consider staying here again.
