We had a nice time at Christophe's place, essentially due to its close location to a wonderful beach! The house itself is new, modern and features good equipment. It is very remote, so you definitely need a car.
However, we would NOT choose to stay here again!
This is due some points that can or should be improved (which - to be fair - may not all be in the host's responsibility):
- There are no sun umbrellas or anything else to protect you from the sun in the garden.
- A bluetooth sound system would be a nice addition.
- The garden is not safe for little children (steep staircase, pool).
- Some essentials (e.g. salt or pepper) were not provided. Especially in this price range we also always found a welcome package to be a nice touch.
- As this is a very rural area, there were a lot (!) of insects (flies, spiders, cockroaches, ...) and other animals both in and outside the house! Fly screens might help.
- The bed room with the freestanding tub and large walk-in shower, which looks impressive on the pictures, is actually located in the basement of the house. This basement vibe does not help make the room very cozy and neither does the only window going out to the drive way. But the main issue is the ventilation, which - as you could smell - fails to get the humidity out there (and you do not feel comfortable leaving the window open for too long due to the insects just waiting to come in). We showered there once and although we tried everything, the windows remained fogged for a very long time!
Thus, it is not surprising, that we finally discovered a lot (!) of mold in the basement. This needs to be fixed before anyone can stay down there again as it is hazardous. Luckily we did not need the room.
