This is a truly unique place. The view is amazing! The villa is big, clean, with a lovely pool and a wonderful multilevel outside area for people to enjoy.
The road leading to the villa is bumby and difficult, consider a 4x4 to reach it.
Korina (who unfortunately I did not have the opportunity to meet in person), is an experienced host who does her best to accomodate the visitors. All our communications have been excellent.
My only actual, face to face, interaction was with Tereza, the villa owner, and her welcoming approach was possibly the worst I have had in all my trips ever.
The Yalita villa is actually part of a complex of four houses (the last one, in front of the sea, meaning you have to carry all your suitcases down possible 50 stairs). There is another villa exactly on top of Yalita, and the rest of the owners seem rather annoyed that Yalita is rented as an Airbnb.
As a result, Tereza, the owner, instead of being interested to make us feel welcome when she met us, she bombarded us with a list of rules incl. "make sure you dont make any noise while you carry your suitcases down the stairs", "3-5pm and 11pm and onwards you must respect the rest of the owners who need peace and rest, so make no noise", etc etc etc.
We were a group of 9, incl three teenagers and two pre-teens. Imagine having to tell them, "no music", "no fun in the pool", "dont talk loudly" etc. No fun then in Yalita for us and I would definitely never visit again.
Based on our experience, I would surely would not recommend it for families, it might be possibly ideal for older couples, with no young children, who just want to enjoy the view and of course make no noise.
Tereza, the owner, needs to work on her hosting skills, or reconsider the offering of Yalita as an Airbnb.
I have nothing but good feedback for Korina herself.
