Nice Casita with great private pool in beautiful surroundings! 5/5 stars

We are a family with 2 kids (8 and 6 years) and stayed for 16 nights in this lovely casita. The arrival went very smoothly. The housekeeper Dina is very kind. The surroundings and views are great! Around the house it is very quiet. During the night you are perfectly able to see a lot of stars. The pool is great as well! It is very big and clean. During our stay the pool was cleaned and chlorine etc. was topped up by a very nice guy. Several supermarkets are available in 15 min. drive. It is about 45 min. drive to the beach. We had a very pleasant stay and would rent it again. Many thanks Geert and Sonia!

Wonderful time: 5/5 stars
We had a great time there. The house was as we were told and everyone was of a great help with whatever we might need. That to tell you the truth wasn't really necessary as everything was very well explained by the information we got from the owner. The place is a very relaxing one with a great swimming pool where you forget about the degrees during the summer time and it is perfectly taken care of as week as the house. There you find all the necessary to spend the vacation time for cooking and being comfortable.
