It is located at the top of the hill of an amazing location with view of the sea. The entire resort is only 300m away from the beach which has been awarded with “Blue” flag.

The residence is characterised by its modern and simple design while it combines the elegance and the aesthetics that promise a relaxed and carefree stay for dreamed holidays. The ground floor has an elegant and comfortable sitting room near the fireplace and a spacious terrace where you can rest while you enjoy the breathtaking view of the endless sea, the mountains, the village and a 35sqm private swimming pool.
