Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Communication from our (very friendly and endlessly helpful) hosts was absolutely faultless via email initially, and then via WhatsApp. This all helped inspire confidence before we arrived. The apartment (villa) location overlooking the valley is amazing, and the property is easily found only just off the main road through the town. There’s a small supermarket within a short walking distance - and a bigger one a five minute drive away in the next town. Our hosts recommended an excellent restaurant just a 50m walk away down the hill. Note - it is a small family restaurant, opens at 8pm. Book and order (simple choice - meat or fish) ideally the day before - the reason for this being that preparation time for your meal is 4 hours. It’s not expensive - and the food and wine is superb.
