Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mrs E W. 21 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy An adorable chalet. Completely set back up in the hillsides. Beautiful views, amazing views. Incredible at night. Perfect for a family reset, no tv or wifi so you talk, get to know each other again. Especially after a tragedy when someone needs to talk. Brought us peace. My dog absolutely loved it too. Beaches are a drive away. Perfect evening walks. Picnics in the day. Perfect for the budding photographer. Everyone is so friendly. Completely away from all the traffic your head is used to. X I will be booking again ##### Mrs E W. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025
