Die Unterkunft war traumhaft schön und sehr gemütlich sowie geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Der Standort ist ideal für Ausflüge in die Umgebung. Sehr gerne würden wir eines Tages wiederkommen.

We absolutely loved our stay at Villa de Claris! It truly felt like a home away from home; comfortable, welcoming and thoughtfully set up for a relaxing getaway. The highlight for us was definitely the pool, paired with a stunning view that made every moment feel extra special. Everything was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need, making it so easy to settle in right away. The drive to the property was very manageable, though we’d recommend being a confident driver if driving to this home in the dark. We’d happily stay here again (and look forward to it!!) and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a seamless and enjoyable stay!

Das Haus ist unglaublich schön, wir haben es geliebt! Der private Pool ein absoluter Traum! Die Ruhe und die Aussicht war genau das, was wir suchten. Dafür ist die Lage etwas abgeschieden, uns hat das aber nicht gestört.

The most beautiful house and place ever visited. Very clean and everything you might possibly need is available. Very private and the beds are really comfy. The place has a beautiful interior and Cynthia is very kind and helpful. I would absolutely reccomend this place. Tried to book extra nights but it was already fully booked so warning: you want to stay longer! 😉

Overall good stay but Didn’t appreciate the 4 strange dogs that visited us on a daily base next to the pool. We didn’t feel the kitchen was well equipped in terms of basic spices for cooking. House was nice and clean and Cynthia was good at communicating .

This home was beautiful! The pool was amazing! We enjoyed every morning relaxing by the pool, listening to the birds, and howler Monkeys off in the distance. Cynthia was very helpful with things to do and restaurants to eat at! Our favorite restaurant was Majestic Sushi, we ate there twice! I would highly recommend this home!

Absolute paradise! Very communicative hosts and wonderful caretaker. Only caution is if you arrive at night be aware that it is not the easiest place to find but José the caretaker came to find us! You MUST have a 4x4 but this place is heaven on earth
