MarianaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Lovely house by the trees, tranquil and with plenty of natural light and birds singing. We stayed for a month and it had everything we needed for a longer stay. Well equipped kitchen, fast and stable wifi, extra linen and towels, and cleaning supplies. The host was easy to reach and helpful, even giving us a ride from the ferry. The location is great to relax and disconnect, you just have to be attentive to the ferry timetable and be aware that the island itself doesn't have stores or shops.
