The undercover car park, the spacious living area, not to mention the fabulous views of the mountains and the sea. And being able to hear the waves was breath-taking. Having a washing machine and dryer. The kitchen was fully equipped. Shops and restaurants were are short walk away. There's a cafe and restaurant only two minutes walk away that cater for people with food allergies/intolerances. And seeing dolphins from our balcony with the use of the apartment telescope was just exciting.

We want to emphasize the extremely fine accomodation - brandnew and very tasteful interior and furnishment. We felt very comfortable and at home in Angela’s apartment. Not to mention Angela’s hospitality and extraordinary personal service: She spontaneously offered us a lift from the busstop to the apartment and furthermore took us to the point Key viewpoint, and brought ur luggage to the bus again. Angela is just adorable and a very special person

Stunning location - right on the beachfront with an amazing view to wake up to! We booked a suite for our 1 night which was massive and very well equipped. Breakfast was very nice but there were a small number of waiting staff so took a bit of time.
