I was a little dubious of booking this place as there were no reviews but the pictures sold it to me and I wasnt disappointed.'House of Unique Location' is indeed an accurate description. There are very few houses in La Fosca directly on the seafront, and fewer still that have the unique combination of outstanding views and privacy. The house is probably one of only four that offers its guests privacy and yet amazing views of the coastline.
The house has a wonderful terrace that provides shade from the sun so its possible to sit out anytime of the day. There are steps that lead down to the beach which arent suitable for elderly and infirm but its also possible to walk around to the side street and youre on the beach in a couple of minutes. The house itself has everything you might need including a washer on the roof terrace with a great washing line up high. The furnishings are a little rustic but we figured if the accommodation was luxurious, it wouldnt be affordable to most.
Communication with the host was excellent at all times and this is so important, especially when a property has little or no reviews. The host was always very helpful and quick to reply. There isnt an information pack but we really didnt need one. Mostly its self explanatory and anything else, you can easily message the host.
The area is pretty and has fantastic hikes both directions. The beach isnt too busy in the week (mid June) but we found it was packed out at weekends. Time to return to the tranquility of the terrace. There is a well stocked, slightly expensive Spar shop. Those with a car or who dont mind a 30 minute walk, can take a trip into the large neighbouring town of Panamos. There are quite a few restaurants in La Fosca which I must admit, we found quite disappointing, in terms of being either over priced and mediocre or basic standard of food. Aside from the icecream parlour, none of the vendors were friendly either. We are used to holidaying in Greece and we noticed quite a contrast, which was a shame. We simply ate and left quickly and in hindsight, we wished we had taken advantage of eating on the terrace more. Our review is based on those eateries on the main promenade.
Overall, we had a lovely holiday and I would defintely recommend the house
