Owners can be a little unfriendly. The “apartment” was kitted out with old and often inadequate kitchen equipment. Very small living area which needed the aid of a dehumidifier every day to remove condensation. Bedding uncomfortable and the TV was minute. Nice village but a walk into town along a very narrow and unlit pathway was needed for access to any amenities.
