We just stayed one night in this accommodation. It’s unremarkable from the inside, so through the door is a lovely surprise! My room was on the ground floor - it was beautifully decorated with everything you could need. …

We stayed at the guest house for 3 nights and we are very pleased. We rented a family studio as we have 3 kids. studio very well equipped with everything you need. beautiful, modern bathroom design and very clean, with fresh linen and towels. Very easy access via code so you don't have to think about the keys. Very good and easy contact with the owner of the object. I highly recommend! Close to the wonderful beach and nearby attractions. A great place to have a rest!
