Alex was extremely prompt in replying to the messages and was so helpful in meeting us and showing us around the house. We travelled at the beginning of the tourist season - so it was quite cold at night and the pool and sea were too cold to swim in. There is a fire at the property, but we didn't light it, but blankets were provided on the bed. Just a note that it is worth taking warm clothes if you are here in April! We used the house as a base for getting around the whole island. We thought the beach was a bit nearer than it was, but there is one within driveable distance which was very pretty. The addition of a dishwasher was so useful. We also loved having our breakfast outside every day! The house is such good value and in the Summer I can see it being so wonderful just to wake up and sit by the pool.
