Casa Fasnia Nature

It was very cheap. Inside was everything you needed.

It was a bit cold inside.

The apartment was really clean and well laid out. The communication with the owner was excellent, probably the best I have received on Booking.com. Great value for money.

Only the journey from the main road but, we knew it would be a bit off the beaten track.

The house is situated in a small mountain village at about 450m elevation, with 2-3 bars and a community centre, so a very quiet setting. The view from the balcony is outstanding, the bougainvillea out the back and the massive palm tree to the side really add to the feeling that nature rules everything here. The property has all the mod cons, but is not cluttered and everything there has a sense of purpose and functionality, they're no unnecessary details. The house itself overall has a lot of charm with the old shutters on the windows, and is decently renovated, it could be 80 to 100 years old, just a guesstimate on my part. We were here for 6 days and would stay here again any time.

The only minus of the entire experience in my books was the impersonal nature of it all - we never got to meet the host, the key we picked up from the box on the wall and that's where we also left it. This lack of any contact is perhaps a hangover from the Covid days, but to me subjectively ,as a 20th century pre-digital human being, it dehumanises the experience and makes it feel purely transactional. If it weren't for this I would rate the experience 10/10. This way it's a decent 8/10.
