Beautiful location, and lovely outdoor area, but indoors leave something to be desired
The property is wonderfully remote, surrounded by forest and up a tiny mountain road which goes around some terrifyingly tight corners. If you are in a big car, it can be quite a squeeze when someone is coming in the other direction!
The outside of the property is absolutely beautiful, with a stunning pool and patio area. However, when we arrived the whole house stank of must and mould, to the extent that one of the double bedrooms was unusable. The bed in this bedroom was also quite uncomfortable and could do with updating. Once we had aired out the house, and turned the heating on to dry it out, the musty smell was marginally better, though the air quality downstairs was still not good at all, and after 4 days sleeping downstairs I was completely bunged up due to this. Even the living room sofas were very old and smelt musty.
Aside from that, the rooms didn't seem particularly clean, and none of the rooms had been sufficiently mosquito-proofed for such a verdant area. The mosquito nets, which were only on some windows, were very old and very clearly letting insects in. There were ants easily getting in to the downstairs bedroom. Both bathrooms could really do with a fan of some sort, as they stay completely soaking for hours after a shower.
All in all we really enjoyed our stay, particularly BBQing on the gorgeous outdoor oven, and swimming in the pool, as well as multiple visits to the lovely beaches nearby. However, the inside of the house was quite disappointing, especially since some of the issues could be fixed without great cost to the owners (eg some ikea furniture, a dehumidifier, replacing mosquito nets, better cleaning).
