Despite the amazing reviews of this location, I was a bit sceptical of what I might find. But from the moment I drove up the hill into the property, I knew I had truly arrived paradise. I stayed for 4 nights in villa 9 at the far end of the property which had a hammock, and the views from atop this place are amazing, especially at sunrise and sunset. Down the hill and across the road, is a scenic entrance to one of the many public beaches spread across the island. I should have explored it more though. I enjoyed the few walks and the many drives I made from the residence to some amenities. I loved the antique feel of the house, and I was amazed by its matching level of functionality, although the kitchen was lacking a few utensils for effective cooking. I enjoyed my dinner on the terrace a lot, soaking in the cool breeze from the sea. The host Mayna was helpful with some recommendations, even though my initial payment to confirm my booking was mixed up somehow, and I ended up spending additional time at the airport trying to sort that all out. They have a library where you can borrow books to read from too. If I ever returned to the island for a longer stay, I'll love to stay at La Residence again.
