The place itself is a wonderful place. Everything is fairly new and clean. It's almost like a huge guest house. Feels and looks very home-y. It is situated in a very quiet and serene place. The land is beautiful and scenic with a outside area for eating breakfast. Although we did not use the pool, they did have one available. The location is okay. It's about 12 km to the beach.
I'm surprised that this place received such positive reviews. The one thing that ruined our experience here was the owner. From the moment we arrived, she seemed a bit rude. She knocked on our door abruptly to tell my boyfriend to put his shoes inside (he was airing them for a little bit). That was just our first encounter with her. It worsened throughout our stay.
Later in the night, we were planning to go to a restaurant near the place. We told her we would be going at night, and she acted a bit concerned because the bikes they lend do not have lights (therefore it would be hard to see at night). She offered the dinner service there as an alternative. My boyfriend was set on this restaurant (He was raving about it the whole trip), so we didn't take the offer. After discovering the restaurant was closed, he went downstairs to ask her if we could have dinner there. Firstly, she was super rude when he asked.While she was speaking to other tourists who were having dinner and told him rudely to wait. When talking to him aside, she said she would have to "check" with the kitchen (which was basically her and maybe one other guy in the kitchen). She then said it wasn't possible, and made the excuse that they didn't have enough ingredients, which we thought strange since she offered about one hour before this.
So we had to bike to another place to eat dinner. When we came back (it was a reasonable time, no later than 12 am), she accosted us and asked us worriedly if we took the bikes (even though she already know--we had told her earlier). As if she was our mother or something.
The next day doesn't get any better. We had taken the bikes again to get to the beach (about a 12 km. ride). On the way there, one of our bikes started to have issues. The chain was loose as well as the pedals. My bf noticed the issue with the pedals from the very first day, but it just now started acting up. We tried for a quick fix, but the issue kept reoccurring. We were a bit worried because the owner had us sign a contract before using the bikes that we would have to pay 150 euros if one of the bikes broke (which is ridiculous, considering that the bikes were in pretty poor condition). Our time was very limited and we lost probably about an hour because of this break down. Luckily, a guy down the rode had a tool box and helped us out. It was a quick fix which got us to the beach and back to the place safely. But we're positive that the next person who uses that bike will most likely face the same trouble we had.
When returning back to the hotel, we were rushing since we had limited time. My boyfriend asked her if she could call a cab, and she was huffing and puffing as if she was going out of her way to do us a huge favor. This was incredibly rude, considering this is her job! Any place with decent service should understand this.
Luckily, we were only here for a day and a half. If we were here longer, she would be unbearable. I'm not sure why she was so rude to us. Anyways, would not recommend this place. It's a shame how bad the service was because the place was lovely. read more
