A lovely little place

In addition to all the things you would expect as standard (cleanliness, comfort, modern bathroom, good breakfast etc), this B&B has a lovely atmosphere, largely because of Carol and her staff. Everyone is very friendly, helpful, discreet. And sitting on the veranda in the morning sun, eating breakfast while looking over the little pool, is heavenly. Bettered only, perhaps, by swimming all on your own in the evening, looking up at the stars, with no one else about. The smart La Lucia shopping centre is across the road, meaning you can always find a cash machine, a salad or a chemist.
