We loved everything about this little gem. It’s tucked away but at the same time in the middle of the town. The beds were extremely comfortable, the terrace gorgeous, the kitchen perfect, there’s nothing more I can really say. Just perfect. Our hosts were also extremely friendly and couldn’t do more for us. Thank you for a wonderful stay & we can’t wait to come back and see you again!

    Great location - very close to the sea, to all restaurants and shops. Greatest host!! - very helpful - you get everything you might need. There is always an access to drinking water, and a nice breakfast included. They also provide beach towels, umbrellas etc. They organized a taxi transfer way cheaper than you can get at the airport. One day there was a party at nearby café, but the music stopped at midnight, and other than that it was surprisingly quiet.
