My wife and me stayed at the Bateau Ivre cave house for 4 nights. Rena was informed by the transport co. About the time of our arrival and a porter was waiting for us at the parking to carry out luggage and to show us the way. The cave house is located at the caldera side quite a distance from the shops and the noise. We felt it is excellently situated and when you seat in the balcony you have total privacy. The cave is beautiful and the bathroom with the jacuzzi is like a work of art.
We had wine and cake f.o.c. By Rena, and an Illy coffee machine for great espresso and latte. A lady came every day to fix the house so all was clean when we returned each .
As this is a cave house the air does not changes enough and we felt this should be improved. Over all great place ,full with character and magnificent view of the caldera. The shops are about 5 minutes away and you can walk down a path to a little private beach.thank you Rena and Nicollet.
