Avis Sizo 2 bedroom wooden cottage, outdoor living

Bien au-delà de nos attentes, ce magnifique bungalow est un des points forts de notre séjour. Merci à Ginette pour son accueil et pour le charme de sa propriété

What a great experience! We loved the open living plan with its outdoor shower, the kitchen over looking the valley, the gardens, all the wild life, and I could go on and on! The location made it easy to experience many of the hiking trails and other activities we enjoyed. Host was awesome and we hope to return! Sooner rather than later!!!

If you enjoy the outdoors, you will LOVE this cottage!! We wanted to experience Dominica and all its beauty and this property provided us more than we could have ever imagined. We woke up each morning to stunning views of the mountains and had coffee in the outdoor kitchen/living area. The location was also ideal to the local attractions and the city of Roseau. Ginette and her daughter Ari checked in daily to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone visiting the island. It was a dream come true for us.

Wonderfully lushly set property very convenient to city Roseau on one hand and all of the delights of the Roseau Valley on the other. Setting is excellent, with parking and cottages in a gated area, the valley views from the open-air kitchen and lounge (Sizo cottage) are magnificent, and the host is kind and very helpful with all arrangements. Tolerance for mosquitoes will be required, but the ceiling fans in the place help a lot, and this is true for nearly everywhere in Dominica! Did not bother us overly. Great base to explore all the Roseau Valley area has to offer, and not a bad drive to the southwest (eg Champagne Beach) nor central area with Emerald Pool. Hot sulphur pools are 10 minutes' drive and just the ticket for weary travellers. (Tolerance for challenging road conditions required for anywhere in the Roseau Valley.) Highly recommend.

We liked the place. Open. Well situated, close to everything we wanted to do. Nice view. I had a misunderstanding with my car rental company and Ginette put a lot of effort in finding a new car for us. Thanks a lot!

The cottage is well designed and perfect for indoor outdoor living. The rooms and living areas are well maintained and equipped. The best part is that it is nestled in a beautiful garden with beautiful views. We enjoyed an occasional rain, never ending bird songs, sounds of the rainforest, and morning rainbows! This place is probably the best place on the island, loved it. The location is amazing, close to the city and activities! Great work by the owners!

beautiful

Ginette was wonderful on every step of the process. Once booked she communicated and gave us great advice, including about a rental car. We ran into an issue with a cancelled flight and Ginette came up and brought us down to the cottage. It was better than we imagined, it was in a perfect location in the jungle on the mountain. The flowers around the cottage were spectacular as well as a variety of fruits. The cottage itself is open air and allowed the cool mountain air to blow through and perfect with the ceiling fans. The bed was very comfortable allowing for the perfect night's sleep with the sounds of night lulling us to sleep. The kitchen was fully functional allowing coffee and breakfast and be able to cook a full dinner each night as we watched the sun set over the mountains. Ginette and Fred, the caretaker, took great care of us and checked in daily that all our needs were being met. Though we were there to disconnect, it was great to have Internet access to share pictures with our friends and family. We had a lovely time and thanks to Fred and Ginette!!

First, understand Dominica- it's NOT the Dominican Republic. This is a nature/natural experience. If you are not a nature lover, if you do not like rugged natural environments, this is probably not your Island. If Dominica sounds like your island, in this cottage you will feel like you're living in a treehouse. Birds will visit you, and probably raid your fruit but all you have to do is listen to host Ginette and you will know exactly how to share (and not share) your goodies with the charming little birds who literally come through the cottage. I love birds so this was a treat for me. Fruit trees all around, lush and tropical surroundings. I mentioned a couple activities I was interested in and Ginette really went into action and set me up with activities that were perfect. Even just as important was that I just wanted to breathe in nature, take in the views and have some quiet alone time, and I had that too. Don't miss a massage. Ginette is a wonderful massage therapist. I normally get massages at home but this is a real treat. Hiking: come equipped. I'm from the US and what the Domincans call an easy hike will probably involve loose gravel stones, creek fording, (and the water will rise quickly in the rain) rock scrambling etc. For what we in the US call an easy hike, there is a walkway along the ocean in town, and it is smoothly paved. Having a cook come in to the cabin and prepare meals was also a great option, and the food was delicious. In just 6 days there I felt healthier and less stressed. It is really therapeutic! Lessons learned: for my next trip I will bring binoculars for staring into the views from the cottage, hiking boots and one of those plastic rain ponchos that lines in a small pouch. Size Cottage did not disappoint!

Beautiful,warm, incredible view, friendly staff No regrets staying here highly recommended
