We were very happy with everything. The house was lovely and the air-conditioning and mosquito nets meant that sleeping in the heat was no problem. Renata and Mrs Koul met us on the first night and provided some basics for the kitchen. The house is four hundred years old but very well equipped and comfortable and the village beautifully unspoilt. It is possible to walk down to the beach in the next village (30-40mins) but we tended to drive (5mins). In any case we found it much more touristy down there and preferred being in the hills around the house. You can buy everything you need to eat/drink etc in the village. Mrs Koul, whose house it is and who lives next-door, is a wonderful character and looked after us very well - showing us around, bringing us home made pastries on one occasion and even dancing with us at a local festival! We had a wonderful time and can highly recommend it.
