Peaceful and pretty home, lovely hosts, transport is tricky
Of the place itself, and the people who helped to host, I have only good things to say. Maria and Antonio, who look after the property locally, ensured a smooth check in and gave a very friendly welcome, with good practical advice. The view from the terraces of the house, onto a terraced hillside of orchard, and the sea, is really lovely and peaceful and is enhanced by vines shading the outside spaces from too much sun. As a place to "be", it has many attractions. There is even a good mini-market in easy walking distance.. if you don't mind walking uphill. The layout of the unit involved going outside and up the stairs to get from the kitchen /dining/ living room area to the bedroom. A bit awkward, but no problem in good weather, and the house had plenty of character and a nice vibe. I'd say the main downside of the place is the friction attached to getting anywhere else. Walking on the road is necessary to reach some otherwise quite useful offroad footpaths, and walking on the road is sometimes hugely difficult, due to huge vertical drops from cliff edge to ocean and low - sometimes only thigh high - crash barriers. Although there is a bus stop very conveniently located for the house, we were often not able to board busses because of overcrowding (in September). For this reason I'd say this hideaway would be best enjoyed with own transport or off season, when public transport might well be easier to use.
