Unfortunately we didn’t realize how high up in the mountains you are - it adds like 15 mins just trying to get up to the property from the towns near by You’re far away from everything! Parking in this place is also very annoying and hard if you’re not a good driver to maneuver around tight corners of the gate and stone walls. Additionally the photos made us think these individual places were spaced out - this is not the case and ours was a path width away from the other place with NO BLINDS on the two biggest windows that run along the path people can walk by - so privacy was minimal - especially when the bathroom on the main floor walks right out into the open area where you can see in with no blinds! The “ocean view” was minimal since you’re high up and far back in a cove in the valley so a lot of trees block the view. Couldn’t even see it from the actual accommodation. For the price and location I wouldn’t waste your time unless you place on staying there majority of your time. Additionally our last night when we had to be up at 3 am the property right next to ours (it’s multiple units on the same grounds) we’re partying all night and still going when we got up. ##### Angela R.
