    Peaceful stay in local Shela

    Liked : the house is amazing in a rather local street in Shela. It's easily accessible from the main dock and Peponi Hotel. It's very tastefully decorated and full of charm.

    Disliked : I would have liked to be informed in advance that pick-up was not free (totally fine, but would be better to know upon arrival and not departure :)

    Out of this world!

    Liked : It’s a really beautiful place, the photos don’t do it justice, but it’s nice to arrive somewhere and find that rather than the other way around.

    Also, included in the price is your guide, airports transfers, a cook, a cleaner and a chef - again, another amazing surprise!

    Not only that, but they are all exceptional people who took extremely professional, patient and kind care with us.

    We wanted for nothing. Everything was done for us, shopping, cooking, cleaning, washing, tour trips, you name it. Chui our guide oversaw it all. Chengo our chef cooked some of the best meals I’ve ever tasted, Michael the butler was extremely attentive and the maid did our washing and cleaning.

    Disliked : Memory foam beds
