Mariona is a really great host - very friendly and genuinely wants you to have a good stay. The house is really special - there is even a little well in the kitchen giving it the simple traditional old house description it deserves. Beautiful wooden shutters (bit stiff to close sometimes). The house is set on the street with the views of the sea and boats at the front . The main road is directly between the front of house and the sea so it is noisy and you do need to shut the shutters to have privacy - it didn't bother us though and we ate with doors opening onto street to see sea.
The bedroom also looks to the front and again , shutters need to be shut for privacy. Portocollon is really lovely and there are so many beautiful beaches nearby , we were spoilt for choice. We would recommend staying here again.
