A wonderful escape

Cute, breezy little casita with a nice private outdoor area. Simple, but has everything you need, including a hammock where you might see some Puerto Rican Mango hummingbirds. We loved hearing the rain and chickens at night. It’s a quiet location within easy drive of many beaches and food options.

Jungle

It is off the beaten path. If you are expecting a hotel type experience it is not that. It is the experience of living as a local. With all the local wildlife running around. Cute, clean and we hated to leave.

Birthday celebration at Maleza Alta

Mare is one of three units at IL Sognatore, and we have now stayed at all three. As usual, a unique and creative setting, always well-kept and ever changing. The outdoor space is just beautiful, private and wished we had more time to enjoy it. Thank you, Fabio, for hosting us once again.

Aguadilla Reunion

The property was easily accessible. My GPS had a different location, so I called the host, who immediately responded and gave me the location, and it was spot on. The place had parking available, and it was safe with a surrounding fence. It was clean, and everything worked, though the bed lights needed replacement. Our pet enjoyed the AC, TV, warm water, and a lovely patio. I strongly recommend others stay, and we will return. The host was always responsive, and he made the difference.

Beautiful place

Era un lugar hermoso y muy tranquilo. Lo único que sugeriría serían las mejores almohadas, una escoba y un recogedor, además de toallas, toallas de playa y accesorios de playa para sus invitados. Sillas, sombrilla, frigorífico. Es un lugar hermoso. Cerca de muchas playas hermosas, gran cafetería al final de la calle. (femenino) Era un lugar hermoso y muy tranquilo.

Es un lugar hermoso. Cerca de muchas playas hermosas, gran cafetería al final de la calle. El WiFi no funcionó en absoluto. Teníamos que conectarnos a nuestro propio punto de acceso para ver televisión por la noche si queríamos.

No frills gem!

Can't beat the price! This property was very quaint and we enjoyed it as a "home base" while visiting Aguadilla and surrounding areas. We used this property just to shower and sleep as we spent most of the day out and about. Fabio was very accommodating and went out of his way to make our stay more comfortable. Felt safe and well cared for.
