Great location and an almost new and very modern house. Airco in every room. Beautiful heated pool. Good bed and lots of towels. And an amazing view over valley and sea. ##### Paul t.

It was clean and roomy, modern and the view was beautiful. Only one thing, the Villa is very high up and at the time we were there, October, we were basically in the clouds and no sun and it was cool. However the home and view were absolutely beautiful. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and everything worked beautifully. It has a nice A/C system and the bathrooms were perfect. Unfortunately we didn’t get to meet Olga and Alexander due to family emergency, they still made sure we knew about everything and kept in touch. There was a lovely bowl of fruit and wine waiting for us. ##### James R.

Our initial conversations with Olga were assisted by Google translate as my German is as non existent as her English - and they had the support of a local, English speaking lady to show us around which was great. The property was spotlessly clean and really well equipped with coffee machines and a nice welcome pack of fruit and wine - and a nice touch of villa monogrammed dressing gowns. The view from the terrace over the valley below and the village and sea beyond was stunning - we never tired of it. The initial drive up to the house (you will need a car) was a little surprising and hilly but you get used to it after a while. All in all, a beautiful place to stay, we had a wonderfully relaxing and luxurious week, thankyou so much to Olga and Alexandra. ##### Paul S.

Eine Ruhe, die eine perfekte Erholung ermöglicht. Ein guter Ausgangspunkt für viele geplante Aktivitäten.Eine Ausstattung, die es ermöglicht sich geborgen zu fühlen und ein perfekt eingerichtetes Haus.Und ein wunderbares Gastgeberpaar.

Die Ausstattung des Hauses ist sehr modern und harmonisch und bietet von allen Zimmern den Blick auf die wunderbare Natur: den umliegenden Eukalytuswald, Calheta unten im Tal und die Weite des Ozeans.Das Haus ist ausgesprochen sauber und die Ausstattung der Küche bietet alles (auch an Küchengeräten), was man im Urlaub benötigt. Alles an kleinen Annehmlichkeiten war vorhanden einschließlich ausreichend Handtücher für Bad oder Pool. Da der Pool beheizt ist, kann man dort selbst bei Regen entspannt nach Wanderungen baden. Ganz besonders gefallen haben uns die grandiosen Sonnenuntergänge, die wir täglich von der Terrasse oder vom Wohnzimmer aus genießen durften.Hervorzuheben ist noch der angenehme und sehr freundliche Kontakt zu den Vermietern Olga und Alexander.Ein Haus, das alles bietet, was das Herz begehrt!!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kati H. 27 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Tolle Villa mit Pool und perfekter Aussicht. Wir haben zwei Wochen in dieser wunderschönen Villa verbracht. Der Kontakt zu Olga und Alexander war von Anfang sehr nett und völlig unkompliziert. In der Villa fehlt es einfach an nichts. Zur Begrüßung stand ein großer Obstkorb auf dem Tresen. Außerdem gab es so viele Annehmlichkeiten: Kaffee, Duschbad, Mülltüten, Toilettenpapier und Geschirrtabs waren ausreichend vorhanden! Alles ist hochwertig und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Der Pool und die Aussicht werden uns lange in Erinnerung bleiben! Die Sonnenuntergänge sind einfach fantastisch. Unser Mietwagen stand die ganze Zeit sicher auf dem Grundstück. Vielen Dank und hoffentlich bis bald mal wieder! Grüße aus Hamburg. ##### Kati H.
