not good very bad experience
Terrible Experience – Not Worth the MoneyI had an extremely disappointing stay at this property. To start, the house is located on a dangerously steep 100-meter slope, making it incredibly difficult to access by car or on foot. The car park is located at the top of the hill, and you’re expected to walk up and down this steep incline every time you need to come or go — not only is this inconvenient, but it’s also unsafe.There’s no Wi-Fi provided, which is unacceptable considering the high price of the stay. What made the experience even worse was the rude and unhelpful customer service. I reached out to the property manager with reasonable requests, including asking if I could leave my rubbish near the house because the bins are placed all the way at the top of the hill. Walking uphill with bags of rubbish was exhausting, especially given the steep gradient. My request was rudely denied, and I was told to take the rubbish up myself — it honestly felt like I was being treated like a servant despite paying a premium for this property.The manager’s attitude was dismissive and unprofessional throughout. Overall, this property is extremely poorly managed, overpriced, and unsafe. I would not recommend it to anyone and strongly suggest looking elsewhere for a better experience. Save your time, money, and energy.
