Wir können diese Unterkunft nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen. Wir haben 2 Nächte gebucht und sogar noch eine weitere Nacht vor Ort angehängt, da wir uns so wohl gefühlt haben. Wir wurden herzlich empfangen und es gab eine kleine Hausführung. Das Zimmer war liebevoll eingerichtet, wir hatten einen tollen Ausblick im Zimmer auf das Meer. Die Sitzgelegenheit auf der Terrasse lud zum Verweilen ein. Das Gästehaus war modern und stilvoll eingerichtet. Man hat sich wie zu Hause gefühlt und durfte alles vor Ort nutzen, wenn man möchte. Auch hätte man den Ofen im Wohnzimmer oder Outdoor anheizen dürfen. Die Frühstückauswahl am morgen war super. Die Ausgangslage zu Restaurants und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und dem Strand war ideal.
