While some maintenance issues are noted, the overall experience is positive, with the chalet's location and comfort being particularly praised.

The chalet is generally described as clean and tidy, with fresh bedding and a well-maintained appearance. However, there were isolated mentions of dampness and an ant infestation, which slightly affect the score.

The location is highly praised for its wonderful sea views and tranquillity, making it an ideal base for exploring the surrounding area. The proximity to beautiful beaches is a recurring positive aspect.

Guests find the chalet to be warm, cosy, and comfortable, with a good layout and a home-from-home feel. The suggestion for additional accessibility equipment indicates room for improvement.

While the chalet is well-equipped, there are comments about the need for TLC, such as issues with the shower and patio furniture. On-site facilities are described as basic, with a small pool and out-of-action slide.

There are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the owner, so it is not possible to assess this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.

    It was beautiful, very clean, comfortable and a real home from home. We had a wonderful week, weather was very kind, found beautiful beaches and will definitely return.

  • Mark

    The scenery is beautiful and so so quiet. We had a great holiday and used the chalet as a base to explore the area. The owners were very accommodating and offered advice when asked. The onsite facilities are basic and the pool very small, the slide was out of action.

    I would suggest that a free standing toilet frame be made available. This would increase the number of potential booking and as a result additional profit.
