Burghard is a lovely host, who made our checkin very efficient. However, we were ultimately disappointed in our 3 night stay. I suppose you get what you pay for here. The beds are very uncomfortable and noisy. The kitchen was not well equipped for cooking as the stove is an induction cooktop, but the frying pans provided are not compatible. The view out the window is lovely, but the villa across the street is under construction. For us the noise was a nuisance around 5pm when we would return to the apartment for a rest after a long day hiking. Also, the mosquitoes were very bad at night even in October! This is a very spartan place to stay. For us, it was not the right choice.
