  • Such a beautiful place! The views are insane and the house itself is super comfortable and cosy. Love the pool area and games room. Great for a 9-10 pax group. We played games, cooked on bbq, swam in pool and enjoyed the serenity. Hosts were highly responsive with any issues! Defs stay here if you can!

  • We had a wonderful stay and couldn’t be happier with our experience. The place was exactly as described. Clean, comfortable, and well equipped. Communication with the host was excellent and check-in was smooth. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to others.

  • My friends and I loved our stay here for my 33rd birthday! Despite the weather being bad, we actually didn’t mind spending the whole weekend inside, cosy and just enjoying the space 🥰 Would recommend for a big friend group!

  • We had a wonderful stay, the view was breathtaking and the place was very clean and spacious with all the amineties as described with lots of activities to do for adults and kids. The pool was nice however it needed a bit more time to heat up to reach its optimum temperature but the hosting company communicated well to rectify the issue right away and offered us a very late check out so the kids can enjoy the pool and make up the time they missed before we checked out. I highly recommend this property for big families and would book this place again in the future :) Regards, Noor
