An amazing stay!
If you are looking for a wonderful place to stay outside of the city, this is the place. The apartment is beautiful and well maintained. Easy walking access to cafes, shops and beach areas. Plenty of amenities and kitchen needs in the apartment. Our kids did not want to leave! Contact with the manager prior and during the stay was very easy - a lovely email check in that all was good. When you look at the pictures for this property, I can confirm that is exactly what you get - it looks too good to be true! Plenty of space for our large family of 11 people. When coming back we will be staying here again!
