This is a truly unique property and it really did feel like we were staying in a tropical oasis. Gisella is an exceptional host whose local knowledge helped us immensely. We walked on the lava flow at Kalapana and explored the island on Gisella’s recommendations and the little blue book. We loved the animal life around the cottage - chickens and baby chicks, geckos, frogs and bird life. The pool was lovely at the end of a long day of touring and the house was comfortable and clean. Thank you Gisella for your hospitality!
