We loved this place! It’s perfectly situated with peaceful, stunning sea views, yet just a short walk to nearby towns. There are plenty of supermarkets and cafes close by, which was really handy. Honestly, we didn’t want to leave such an incredible home. Between working on the pool and trying out table tennis, there wasn’t much time to relax in the hot tub under the stars, but that’s okay. The property exceeded our expectations, offering everything we needed and more - it truly felt like a proper holiday! Would definitely come back.
