Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour, l'emplacement dans un petit bourg typique ainsi que la vue sur l'océan ont ajouté du charme à ce moment hors du temps. Une belle parenthèse loin de l'agitation continentale. J'ai même eu la chance d'observer 2 dauphins au loin depuis la terrasse lors d'un petit déjeuner. Les hôtes sont très réactifs quand nous avons des questions. L'appartement est propre, refait à neuf et spacieux. Je recommande!
