8 / 10Excellent·Nov 2025
We were particularly well welcomed by the owner who provided full assistance in settling in. The house is very well equipped and comfortable. And it has the extra charm of being in a cave with exposed rock walls. This required special attention when entering the upper level. The owner acknowledged that having a single toilet was a problem that they are planning to accommodate with more rooms in the future
