Julia and Richard are great hosts. Friendly and attentive.
The scenery, tranquility and quietness of this place is special and would be hard to replicate throughout the world. Not having cars on an island really is miraculous.
Saying that.... it also makes the experience very much one of an era gone by. Its like luxury camping.... you are expected to recycle your water to flush toilets and water plants, water conservation is a chief concern on the island. The bed was in a super hot loft (though I was there in a heat spell and august is the same) and the mattress not comfortable but I am sure the host has remedied that since my visit as I brought it to their attention.
Being ok with nature is a must here as you are basically living outdoors which is the way the majority of the island operates. Side note, when the description mentions the internet, to be clear, the internet may be spotty..... but the guest needs to bring THEIR OWN internet service.... there is nothing to be had on the island that visitors can use. This can be refreshing to not be connected, just make sure you are prepared for it!
To go anywhere other than the parallel of your living terrace expect to climb very steep hills. I cannot recommend highly enough if you need to get away and unplug, write, meditate, clear your head, rejuvenate.... I am not certain I would classify as a great holiday destination however unless you wanted one of the above mentioned experiences.
The island has many lessons for us over busy modern living souls.
