Visiting tips & what to bring

Being located on high ground, access is basically by car. Being a whole-house private villa there are no shared facilities, and as meals are room-only-centred, using nearby eateries and supermarkets is convenient. When using the pool or jacuzzi, take care not to take your eyes off small children. As phone reception is limited to 10:00 to 18:00, making bookings and inquiries within those hours goes smoothly. On a seaside hilltop, insects may appear at night, so insect repellent is reassuring.

For families with small children

Being a whole-house rental with a pool and jacuzzi where you can spend time without meeting other guests, it is an environment where it is hard to feel awkward toward the surroundings even with infants. With a kitchen and washing machine, you can cook baby food and milk and do laundry. On the other hand, the pool has no fence with a danger of falls, so constant guardian supervision is essential. Being a luxury villa with a higher rate, it suits a special family trip for a focused purpose.
