Beautiful Villa, enirely freshly renovated and still with an elegant character - staying in the Spa Room, after a hiking day the hot Whirlpool was just perfect and the bed felt like snuggling in a big cloud- absolutely heavenly! Spacious, spotless and full of light. Quiet area, about 20 minutes walk down to town and the beach. Now Pumpkin. The sweetest of houseladies, she’s charmingly attentive to her guests and David makes a perfect assistant for her. They’re doing a great job! Thank you for this beautiful experience!

Everything in need equipped. The washing machine in the shared kitchen and a laundrette in just one minute by walk really facilitated self laundry. The owner was helpful when fixing the heater in my room during my stay.
