Country living at its best. Great pool. Be prepared for no room service or daily cleaning. The property could have used a safe. Plan on renting a car which can be arranged by the front desk. Location is great, just a few minutes to great restaurants and amazing beaches.
le gérant est impressionnant. le domaine est tres propre et il est partout pour que votre sejour soit parfait. Le jardin est très propre, la piscine est très propre , les habitations sont très propres
notre seul bemol concerne la disparité entre les habitations/ la notre était semi enterrée sans vue . d'autres sont en étage avec des vues mer
Es war sehr ruhig und ein toller Ausblick. Der Pool war immer sauber und auch das Zimmer bekam aller 3 Tage eine Säuberung und frische Handtücher. Andreas der Besitzer ist super lieb und konnte uns auch bei Fragen helfen. Einziger Negativpunkt: bei der Selbstverpflegung gab es nur eine größere Kochplatte für Topf oder Pfanne. Gleichzeitig könnte man nichts größeres Kochen, aber für zwei Personen war es völlig ausreichend.
