What a lovely place. It was a pity we stayed there only one night as we would like to enjoy it a bit more. Really nice room very well equipped and with all details. We had three, one was huge and the other two right size. Delicious breakfast. Magda was super friendly and helping us with everything. Marvelous garden and pool. Easy access to a very close beach. Based on a very nice neighborhood. We have to come back.
