The accommodation was perfect. Spacious ,clean tidy and had everything we needed. Briefly also met the owners who were really nice and very friendly.The accommodation is a 10 minute walk to the beautiful private beach. The local village is not much further away and has a great choice of bars and restaurants.

Lovely apartment in a quiet estate. The accommodation was well laid out and had lots of lovely homely touches. The kitchen was well equipped and the apartment has lots of thoughtful extras for holiday makers, such as a picnic set. Everything was sparkling clean and the host was very friendly and helpful. Great value for money ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
