Delicious Dining Experience

The restaurant's evening meals were a good surprise, featuring fresh seafood that filled the air with a wonderful aroma. I enjoyed every bite, especially the well-prepared fish dishes, which became the highlight of our evenings during our stay.

Well-Equipped Kitchen

The kitchen in our cottage was surprisingly well-equipped for a self-catering experience. I loved being able to cook while enjoying the stunning views. It had all the necessary tools, and I felt right at home making meals for my family.

I had a challenging experience at Resort La Francesca. While the natural surroundings are stunning and the private beach offers a unique escape, the accommodations were outdated and poorly maintained. The lack of basic amenities and the trouble with pests were major disappointments, so I can't say it offered good value for the price.
