Casa Saga

It's a secluded spot with fresh air and a lovely view of the forested hills, which makes it ideal for relaxing. There are lots of toys there, so children can enjoy it too. Self check-in worked well for us since we arrived late and usually headed out early.

We were two families with children aged 3-6, staying in a suite and a double room upstairs. The host was communicative and we discussed everything on WhatsApp; the place was clean, and we could check in an hour early once the host let us know the rooms were ready. The yard was well kept, and there was a spacious outdoor terrace with enough toys and games for the kids. The kitchen was roomy and had a one-burner electric stove, microwave, fridge, filtered water, toaster, and sandwich maker. There wasn't much green space: half the yard was paved, and strips fenced off the small lawn so nobody could walk on it. The cleaning lady said some children had pulled out the grass, so this was probably a temporary solution. The suite rooms were small and warm, and the lack of air conditioning was noticeable. Room no. 2 is at most 2.5 m/ 2 m, and anyone claustrophobic would struggle. The indoor stairs are terribly steep; a 5-year-old can't climb them alone safely. There's no ground-floor living room, so a group has nowhere to sit together if it rains, and no ground-floor toilet either. With small children, it was really difficult; I made dozens of trips upstairs for the little one. The suite bathroom is very small, too small for an adult and child together, while the double room bathroom was bigger. The suite bathroom is in room no. 2, so you have to cross both rooms to reach it. With two children, the older one going to the toilet would pass through and wake the younger sister. The bathroom door is at the foot of the bed in the small room, which seemed badly planned. There were rooms everywhere in the shared areas, and after a door was left a few centimeters ajar, we got a message asking us to close it. The entrance door needs a password every single time, even if you just want to grab a napkin or some water. The guesthouse is out in the fields, on a paved road used heavily by tractors, wood trucks, and farm machinery. Each time they passed, dust rose so much it was hard to breathe.

We stayed Tuesday to Thursday for two nights, with a suite and a double room on the ground floor. The host was welcoming and communicative, and the place was clean and quiet, away from the main road. The shared kitchen had several tables and was equipped with a fridge, electric stove, microwave, coffee maker, kettle, plates, and cutlery. There were also several board games, and the rooms were spacious. Our check-in was about an hour late because the rooms weren't ready, but we could wait in the outdoor gazebo. The guesthouse is on an unpaved road, and wood trucks often pass during the day and kick up dust. That's outside the host's control, but may be useful to know. The door between the suite rooms on the ground floor is a bit noisy. We had a pleasant stay.

The rooms are small, with a very small bathroom, and the indoor stairs are steep. Still, the place is clean and pleasant to look at, with a landscaped yard and an equipped kitchen. It's isolated out between fields, but well secured, which makes it a good escape from the resort crowds. It also works very well for families with small children.
