What more could we have wanted!

This has to be one of the best!
JJ, the owner and renovator, went out of his way to make the main house available when the cottage we wanted was already taken.
The main house was huge! We were very impressed by the space, traditional décor and fitments. The kitchen had everything one could need, and in season, lemons, grapes, pomegranates, oranges, grapefruit & figs abound; all carefully tended by the owner.The beds were sumptuous, and the widest we've seen!
To enjoy the area in full it is essential to avail oneself of the copious notes provided for visitors, in a variety of languages! Everything from finding the location, to an essential guide to all the eating and watering holes used by locals & visitors alike, providing superb rural cuisine at very reasonable prices indeed. Without this we would have been lost..and hungry!
The property is about 7 Km from the unspoilt coastline of sandbars and harbour. Superb beaches are accessible by a 6 minute launch crossing of the lagoon to the beach proper and open sea. The area is totally undeveloped due to the unstable nature of the sandy coastline, which is quite handy for those wanting a restful time! Peace & tranquility abound.
It was the attention to detail both in the accommodation and by JJ in person, that made the holiday complete for us. Nothing was too much trouble, including procuring bicycles locally and delivering to our door!
We shall be back very soon before everyone finds Monte Serra. Thank you JJ!.
