Amazing place to stay, we were lucky enough to book a room with a private deck and pool. The room was beautiful, spacious, immaculate, with the most comfortable bed. Extremely peaceful, with the most incredible views. The staff could not have done more for us, and ensured we were looked after at all times, making our stay even more relaxing. Thank you so much for sharing your little peace of heaven with us , I couldn’t fault one single thing

The beautiful house and it's lovely colorful interior, the stunning view over the beach from our room, the great garden and it's direct location at the beach! What a wonderful house this is!
