Pros:

Fantastik hjælpsom vært. Sørgede for at vi fik det bedste ud af vores ophold. Hjalp os b.l.a. med at arrangere udflugt.Vi kunne ikke have gjort det uden ham.
Beliggenheden og atsmosfæren. Udsigt over et grønt stykke natur og havet. Stilheden. Skøn morgenmad mod ekstra betaling.

Cons:

Stedet bør anskaffe en nødgenerator, da det kan ske at strømnen går i byen.

Escapada de cuento
Pros:

El lugar es precioso, alejado y privado, el personal es muy amable y Valerio el anfitrión un encanto, las habitaciones tienen vista al mar, en la que yo me quedé incluso terraza privada, lo ideal es tener moto o carro, toda la casa tiene muy buena decoración que te hace querer disfrutar cada rincón, me encantó.

Fantastic host, perfect location, and excellent villa amenities. From the warm welcome to the well-equipped villa and id
Pros:

The host was incredibly welcoming and friendly, always happy to share local knowledge and assist us with anything we needed. The location was perfect, and our beautiful room featured a balcony overlooking the pool with stunning ocean views.

We had an amazing time here — even though the room was cool and comfortable with excellent air conditioning, we found ourselves spending most of our time on the balcony daybed. It was pure bliss to relax, listening to the wildlife, with the gentle sounds of insects and birds as we drifted off in the mosquito-enclosed outdoor bed.

Cons:

It was a shame we had to return our rental car, or I would have loved to stay longer and keep enjoying the beautiful location and warm hospitality.

Oasis paradisíaco
Pros:

El sitio es mucho más encantador en persona que en las fotos, parece que estás en una isla de Grecia o Italia, está decorado con muy buen gusto.
Valerio, el anfitrión es un encanto junto con el personal siempre dispuesto ayudar.
Las vistas desde los cuartos son preciosas, desde el que yo me quedé al despertar ves el mar y por la tarde el atardecer, con una terraza privada.
De verdad precioso.

Atemberaubende Aussicht und Ruhe mit kleinen Abstrichen
Pros:

Der Aussicht ist atemberaubend! Man ist umgeben von nichts außer Natur, hört die grillen und Vögel mit voller Energie und in der Ferne sieht man den Ozean in seiner vollen Pracht.
Etwas sehr wertvolles wenn man dann mal nach Las Terrenas geht und sich dem Lärm und Chaos dort aussetzt, dann weiß man es umso mehr zu schätzen.
- das personal ist absolut Weltklasse. Der Verwalter Valerio ist unglaublich nett und stets bereit, mit einem tip auszuhelfen und einem bei vielem entgegenzukommen.
Das geht so weit, dass er uns seinen Roller für einen extrem guten Preis geliehen hat, den man so in las terrenas nicht bekommt.
Und auch die haushelfer sind wunderbar, stets bereit zum helfen.
- Pool wird täglich gesäubert, jedoch durch extrem viel Natur drum herum leider dennoch jedes Mal sehr schnell voll mit Blättern usw.
Dennoch ein großes Plus in dieser Hitze

Cons:

- die Ausstattung ist sehr veraltet, sehr begrenzt zum selber kochen (was aber laut Besitzer eh nur eine Ausnahme ist, denn in der Hochsaison ist die Küche für Touristen tabu.
- generell könnte vieles kleine Nachbesserungen gebrauchen, z.b die Dusche in unserem Zimmer war mehr als fragwürdig und kaum Wasserdruck, im anderen Zimmer roch das Wasser aus der Dusche extrem nach Eisen.
- ohne Fahrzeug ist man etwas aufgeschmissen wobei es noch akzeptabel ist, man muss ca 10 Minuten einen Stellen Hang hochlaufen, aber mit motoconchos etc. ist das auch keine große Sache (falls man eins findet)

Love the nature around, but the conditions of the property let me down
Pros:

The view was great. The room had a gorgeous sea view; the property is surrounded by nature. Hearing the sounds of nature at all times was outstanding. Ultimately, the surroundings were the best part. The size of the room and property is great. There's a view to the pool, which is nice. There's a balcony with seating. The common areas of the property are big. There's also a garage, which comes in handy if you have a car (we did). The price is not high.

Cons:

The conditions of the property let me down. I think the property has a great potential, especially when you see the photos of the surroundings. However, the place itself currently looks a bit tired/ran down. It can improve significantly with some painting and deep cleaning of some elements (ex. water taps, toilet, etc).

Hot water ended up not being reliable during our stay. While the owner acted diligent to our messages, it seems like the fixes done by the plumber were not totally effective, leaving us with 4 out 5 showers done with cold water over our stay.

The payment had to be done on cash. I had even left the property after the stay and the owner had to call me to ask for the payment; I had thought it was just going to be charged automatically from my credit card, but it was not the case; it was an unexpected situation .
While it's true that it was clearly stated in the booking specifications (the owner reminded me, as I hadn't really spotted it), I just didn't expect it, especially in 2024. I can't remember the last time I had to pay in cash for accommodation; in booking.com I've never had to do so. I've been using booking.com for over 8 years now.

The owner did give us a small reimbursement (just under 10% of the cost of the stay) for the complications and disappointments we experienced. I appreciated seeing the right commercial gesture given the situation, but I'm unsure if it was enough in relation to how we felt the experience was. The owner was receptive at all times. The owner acknowledged the situation and expressed intent to improve those in the property, which is good. I hope this is effectively the case for future renters, because the surroundings are really great. However, in my personal case, I wouldn't repeat.
