La casa sull’acqua

I couldn’t swim, which was disappointing, though I should have looked into it beforehand. Even though the house is on the water, it has no private sea access. There are rocks beside the front door where you can jump in, but they’re along a public road, so anyone can come down. The area is also very small, and swimming gets uncomfortable if someone else is there. For the price and a house by the water, I’d expected to be able to swim peacefully. The water was quite dirty while I was there, so I could only enjoy the magnificent view. The house itself is spectacular, with a very evocative outlook, and I got to see a beautiful sunrise. It was very clean, had every comfort, and the staff were extremely kind and helpful. I really loved everything else about it.

Once you make it home, paradise awaits. It’s a unique house designed like a boat, with a breathtaking view and everything you need, from a coffee machine to a few bottles of water. Just be ready for the stairs: there are a lot, and they can be exhausting. The stairway was also a bit dirty and seemed to be used as a urinal by local youths. We encountered that on two evenings while heading home. I didn’t give it five stars because the plaster in the bathroom next to the bedroom was peeling in several places, with bits falling off after a shower. The shower head was clogged with limescale, so the water barely flowed. The owner was very kind and sent generous advice by message.

A charming home in a lovely setting. Everything was wonderful, and I’d highly recommend it!

You wake up in a bed positioned perfectly to watch seagulls dive into the sea, which is a unique experience. The apartment sits just a few meters above the water and feels like being on a boat, but with all the comforts of a real home. The view is breathtaking.
