With photo-manipulating techniques increasingly used by the owners of airbnb properties, I lower my expectations when I arrive to one. So I was surprised to find out that the Sunflower house and its surroundings actually are more attractive in reality than on the airbnb website.
Based on it, I could never imagine the beauty of house’s location, the stylishness of its design, the functionality of the house plan, well planned sloping gardens, multiple tarases and so on.
One would need to pile on the adjectives of enchantment to desribe the amazing views from the house over the sea and nearby lovely Tamariua bay. The house is equipped with a well stocked library but, sitting on the main taras I could hardly read so irresistable was the view.
In the 2nd half of May, the place was as peaceful and serene as a yoga retreat with only a distant rattle of fishing boat engines breaking the silence from time to time (some commotion and noise ensued on the weekend but not much.)
The combination of the house architecture, views and general tranquility of the location make staying at the house a pretty unique experience.
One can acccess several hiking trails directly from the house and swim in crystal clear water of the Tamariua bay. Groceries, including fresh fish from day’s catch, can be bought in the town from one of the supermarkets, deli/butcher shops or fishmongers.
The only blemish on this perfect picture was that the house was not clean.
