Disliked: Room comfort
Nice apartment, overpriced restaurant, no aircon!
Apartment v uncomfortable due to lack of air conditioning/climate control.Nights were sweaty nightmare of exhaustion mixed with dehydration. Apartment reasonably big & facilitated but bed settee's were most uncomfortable place to sit ever. Apartment not well cleaned on arrival. Fridge & kitchen area too small. Not easy place to find; needs signage/direction boards etc. Drive up mountains to get there quite scary in a few places & much higher climb than expected (>2,000ft above sea level) - very sharp bends/large drops that will intimidate those cautious or nervous of heights/drops. Found out after arriving that all routes mean a steep windy climb no matter what direction you come from as situated high up on a plateau. Also often v windy here which was not mentioned anywhere but was apparently unusually still during our stay. Nearby arifield irritation; loud droning noise of small aeroplane performing aerobatics daily for hours on end. Restaurant offered fair-ish choice of well presented food but portion size too small for main course of sea bream we opted for on one occasion; probably less than 2oz! Other options seemed to be small as well & far too pricey but moules frites offered excellent value. No other restaurants around so be prepared to drive a few miles or off the plateau for good affordable eating. 30 mins to south coast. Le Beausett (5 miles) has a few restaurants & supermarkets. Still had some memorable moments & views are amazing!
