The accommodation is very clean and tidy and... More

The owners knew the neighborhood very well and were able to recommend some delicious places to eat as well as parking in the 'village'. We have stayed in many... More

Great stay in a nice room with big windows and a view over the sea. You can sit outside in the shade on a nice wooden deck. We had to catch our flight early the next morning and our host insisted on getting up early to make us a fresh egg sandwich to take with us for breakfast. The big... More
