"We had an outstanding time. 14 days of peace and rest. 14 days in which the mountains looked different each morning and each night. 14 days of watching stars at the clear dark sky and having breakfast at noon time. 14 days only on solar power and well water #WayToZero Manu, thanks for hosting us in your little paradise."

"We had a beautiful week in Emmanuelle’s place. The house is comfortable and quirky, there are board games available, we had home made Kefir, water and Rose wine on arrival to welcome us, and Cathy who manages the property was so lovely and helpful. Best of all was the outdoor space, the views are stunning, there is a hammock, daybeds, an outdoor kitchen, and the stars, oh the stars! It was just so serene and a really lovely place to be."

"Wonderful place!! Magnifique!! Very sympatic owner! Très amiable contact avec le propriétaire!"

"This property is absolutely beautiful! The road to get here is an offroad trek up winding dirt and rocky narrow sections. You need a 4×4 to get here. Make sure you read the host’s thorough information on their WordPress site before booking. Upon arrival you will have to give 1500 euro as a deposit. You get it back the day you leave if everything is OK. There is no wifi, so make sure your phone has access to tower’s. When you are there, you will need to check the water level in the tank and fill when needed by turning on and off a pump, you will need to out the pool cleaner in the pool each day too. All electricity is run by solar, so be careful not to drain the batteries with laptops, the washing machine, the dishwasher, long hot showers, etc… With these things known, it is beautiful . Great hiking, mountain biking. Etc…don’t forget groceries when you head up … let go of society. And enjoy nature. It truly is a beautiful and unique experience."

"Ambalao is a small paradise for nature lovers. The hundreds of birds that sing for you all day, watching thousands of stars at night with the wild boars grunting in the background… The way to get there is like it should be to reach a shelter in nature ..a challenge… but you are guided very well by Kathy or Emmanuelle and once you have arrived you do not want to go back to the hustle and bustle outside this beautiful nature reserve. We spent 2 wonderful weeks in this place where time no longer exists .. where you feel free like a bird, take long walks with the dog or let the hours slip by in the hammock. If we could we would have stayed forever💗"
