The landlady was really kind and the accommodation was very comfortable. There are towels, but they are not replaced even if you stay for several nights.The food was delicious.

We had to check in later than planned due to heavy rain, but we were welcomed warmly.I never expected such delicious meat dishes to be served in front of the sea (lol)I like the seasoning that goes with the rice.The fish is also very delicious.I would definitely like to visit you again.
