Beautiful apartment in a wonderful area
We wanted a seaside weekend break to relax and this apartment was everything we could ask for. Beautifully decorated and furnished, a few minutes walk from the coastline and in a tranquil setting. The hosts were very friendly and helpful, thanks for the tips on where to eat!!We had a wonderful stay and look forward to returning.
