“The terrace is the whole reason to come. We ate every meal out there and swam in the cove twice a day.”
Hannah, LeedsCliff cottage above the cove · September 2026“Inês left fresh bread and a hand-drawn map of the cliff path. Small cottage, huge view.”
Tomás, MadridCliff cottage above the cove · August 2026“Four families, one villa, no arguments. The pool faces the sunset and the kitchen is properly equipped.”
Claire, LyonWhite villa with a sea pool · July 2026“Woke up to cowbells and cloud below the hut. Matteo's walk to the upper lake was the best day of the trip.”
Jonas, MunichTimber hut in the high meadow · September 2026“Cosy and very quiet. The last stretch of road is steep, so bring a car you trust.”
Priya, LondonTimber hut in the high meadow · June 2026“Genuinely ski-in, ski-out. Boot room with heaters, fire going when we arrived, and snow up to the windows.”
Erik, OsloStone lodge with a fireplace · February 2026“Sauna, jump in the lake, repeat. Our dog loved the jetty more than we did.”
Marta, PortoLake cabin with its own jetty · August 2026“Kayaked to the island for lunch every day. Everything you need and nothing you don't.”
Daniel, ZurichLake cabin with its own jetty · July 2026“Taking a bath while the lake goes pink is something I will think about for a long time.”
Aiko, BerlinGlass house at the water’s edge · May 2026“The terrace is the whole reason to come. We ate every meal out there and swam in the cove twice a day.”

Léa, ParisSunny flat above the harbour · March 2026“The ceilings are unreal and the bikes meant we saw half the island without a car.”
