The place was very pretty. Very well cared for and clean, the views were absolutely beautiful. You can tell the hosts love this place from how they care for it. The hosts were friendly and picked us up from the port and dropped us off. Very conversational and offered us baked goods. We have nothing bad to say about the place itself, the views or the hosts. It is genuinely a lovely place.
Unfortunately, we couldn’t leave a 5 star review due to the false advertisements in the listing. If the listing was 100% accurate, and we had known exactly what we were booking, then it would’ve certainly changed things.
As a previous review said, the lady host went in our room everyday, even when she wasn’t supposed to which did feel a little violating of our privacy and kept us a little on edge.
The listing was also very tactically misleading. We were told we would get the entire place to ourselves, which we were really looking forward to. The listing said “The entire place is yours” “A whole terrace to yourselves” “1 shared kitchen”. We thought, okay, sounds lovely, a shared kitchen is fine.
Upon arrival, the host told us there were 3 other people staying. Whenever we left our room, there were people on our “private terrace”, and we had absolutely no privacy here unless we were locked in our room which isn’t what we hoped for.
Also, please be aware that there is absolutely no way of getting food to this place, unless you have your own transport. We arrived late on a Sunday, and we were hungry and was hoping to order some food. Upon arrival, the hosts told us there was no food nearby, taxis would cost us 70 euros, there was no public transport, and you couldn’t order in. They then tired to sell us their car to rent for 45 euros a day (cash only) which was an expense we should’ve been made aware of before arriving, NOT the day of.
Again, the hosts were lovely, and the pictures are 100% accurate. The listing was just very misleading and therefore made the stay quite uncomfortable. I’m not sure if the hosts have changed the listing since (which I hope they do) but airbnb offered us a coupon for the false advertisement.
If the listing was 100% honest and upfront, and we were made aware of the difficulties and shared accommodation PRIOR to arriving, our review would’ve been a lot different as the place itself is very lovely and cared for. You can tell the hosts love the place. It’s just a shame we didn’t quite get what we booked!
Notes before booking - don’t book here if you are looking for privacy, and be cautious that you will need to have transport.
