Es ist ein Eco-Project, und genau das wurde vor Ort umgesetzt. Für die Häuser und die Einrichtungen wurden bereits vorhandene Materialien genutzt, z.B. Paletten als Untergestell der Betten mit guten Matratzen oder die Nutzung des örtlichen Lehms für die Wände. Die Unterkunft ist einfach, und angenehm sauber. Die herzliche Gästebetreuung durch Sergio und Simone und die Verpflegung zu Frühstück und Abendessen durch Simones Kochkünste sind erstklassig. Stefan und Stefan sagen "obrigádu"! ##### Stefan Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Marc 11 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Sergio es súper amable y nos ha ayudado mucho para recorrer la isla.

Simone est une hôtesse très chaleureuse. Petits déjeuners copieux, plat unique le soir.
