Guest review

8.0

Jolie petite ferme réhabilitée en logement, pas facile de trouver l'entrée mais une pancarte signalétique semble être le prochain investissement de Diana qui nous a accueilli avec bienveillance. Nous avons apprécié le calme (il n'y a qu'un logement), le barbecue extérieur, la terrasse, la propreté des lieux, la plage à 2 pas, les équipements (lave linge, air fryer, grand réfrigérateur, ustensiles de cuisine en tout genre, serviettes pour la douche et pour la plage...).

− Prévoir des chaussures faciles à enfiler pour faire les allers retours à la salle de bain/toilettes qui sont à l'extérieur du logement. L'humidité à tendance à rester coincée dans la chambre la nuit mais cela doit dépendre de la météo ?

Best of both worlds - Where the beach meets the country!💚

It was a touch of paradise nestled in between green rolling hills and a black sand beach. Everything we needed was there including a first aid kit in the bathroom.

− Nothing!
