“If there was air conditioning, the place would be perfect.”
The property is very close to the beach, a large apartment for two adults and a child. A cot is available at no extra charge, and there is a beautiful terrace.

“Beach”
Great host and location. Ten meters from the gate to the sandy beach. Quiet and easy parking with gated access to the village. Bread van in the morning.

“Perfect accommodation in order to visit the island, perfect host to gather information!”
We planned to visit the Western side of the Island and we were looking for an accommodation far from the crowded areas. Considering the fact that we rented a car The Enlightened Turtle was just perfect. Located literally on the beach, on a quiet street with a barrier the accommodation offered a huge amount of comfort in terms of space, parking and positioning. Gianluca was a super host, offered a great amount of precise and useful information. He even served us dinner in one of the days.

“A location worth revisiting”
The apartments are extremely clean, spacious and comfortable. Each apartment has a very nice outdoor area that is more than adequately organized to spend a wonderful time with the friends and family. Gianluca was very helpful both in orienting us regarding what is there to visit, where to eat and where to go shopping around the area, as well as with any other requests we had during our stay.

“Not comfortable and expensive above 400 for 2 days”
We had an ant infestation, the road was locked with a gate, we were not informed prior that we couldn't enter the road. Therefore we had to wait for the host

“Exeptional for a quiet and relax stay. Perfect for family with children.”
Very nice and quiet location. Perfect for relaxation. Beach just few steps away from the property. Perfect shallow shore for small children. I loved the peace and quiet this accommodation offeres. No TV which was great-we had a chance to spend quality family time even after dawn. Car is kind of a must have, nearest shop/market about 10min drive. Exceptionally kind landlord which went extra 1000miles to help us everytime he could. Highly recommended 👌 👍
