Pros:

Place was really nice, enjoyed the stay, lady working there was always super helpful, I really appreciated room service. Breakfast was bit simple, but were a big choice of products. Close to the place was a parking lot for free, so no problem with leaving the car.

Inconsistent service and high humidity in a cute old Quinta
Pros:

The property is an old renovated house with a huge garden and some nice detailed furniture.

Cons:

The inconsistency. On the first day of arrival there were no check in details provided from the host. No phone number, no personal messages were answered from the host. We didn’t know how to get into the property. After half an hour of waiting in front of a closed door luckily a maid opened the the door but didn’t speak any English. After she called the host, he submitted the check in message and we found our room. Very unprofessional. The following days there was almost every day something missing after the room was cleared, like hand towels, bath mats or one day a window was left wide open so anyone could have entered the room.
On the third day MOULDY bread was served for breakfast, and even after I pointed that out there was no apologies from the landlord who was at breakfast himself. When I asked for baked eggs that were provided on the first day he refused to provide them the days after by just mentioning that now is low season and we don’t get the baked eggs anymore.
The worst thing at all was the shower in our suite. A slippery wooden surface with screws standing out, so you can actually hurt your feet. After showering the whole bathroom floor was wet because the shower was not properly sealed. That all led to a constantly wet room were you have to have the noisy ventilation constantly switched on to lower the humidity.
On a Monday the maid was late for preparing breakfast, which is anyway way too late starting at nine, that day it was ready at half past nine.

Boutique Quinta Physalis
Pros:

Kontaktaufnahme erfolgte reibungslos, da man sofort jemanden sowohl über booking als auch über die angegebene Handynummer erreicht hat.
Super Lage, sehr zentral und alles war super zu erreichen. Sie Parksituation ist ebenfalls sehr gut, wir haben immer einen Parkplatz in unmittelbarer Nähe gefunden.
Sehr saubere Anlage und Zimmer

Cons:

Leider hatten wir zunächst ein Problem mit unserem Zimmer, da auf der Insel eine sehr hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit herrscht.
Die angegebene Adresse führt leider nicht zur Unterkunft.

A fuir
Pros:

les exterieurs sont assez charmant et le petit dejeuner copieux

Cons:

La chambre double que nous avons eu était plus qu'humide, impossible d'y respirer ! j'ai du demander a etre reloger d'urgence, heureusement une chambre était dispo apres avoir eu le propriétaire qui n'etait pas sur place. La chambre proposé double n'avait pas les toilettes, il fallait descendre 2 étages pour y aller!!! Le propriétaire n'a pas voulu faire de geste commercial sur le prix malgré les toilettes manquantes. Il a meme eu le culot de nous dire que l'ancienne chambre n'est pas humide (il y a pourtant 2 énormes deshumidificateurs, ce qui laisse présager que cette chambre et bel et bien humide!). L'hotel était aussi infesté de cafards de partout! A fuir j'attends toujours mon dedomagement.

Segur que agrada a molt visitants
Pros:

El lloc i el jardí son bonics. La casa es original. Te unes terrasses entre jardins. La cuina es oberta als clients i pots fer- te els teus sopars. Pots compartir amb altres clients.

Cons:

Es una casa antiga, enmig del poble, adaptada com a cada rural. Te 4 o 5 habitacions. Te jardí. Es de dificil manteniment. La casa es antiga encara que reformada.. Ens van donar una habitació petita amb unes escales de fusta que et portaven a un annex superior on hi havia un vestidor i el bany. Era original però no era pràctic. Faltaven cadires, penja-robes a l' habitacio i un banc pet deixar- hi la maleta
