The terrace opens up onto the garden with beautiful views of the rocks pools below. The other apartment is on the top floor. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and can host 6 people.

They are beautifully decorated with comfortable seating places for a relaxing holiday. There is an outdoor swimming pool across the road, which is available for the guests of the complex to enjoy. Each apartment is provided with linens, towels and swimming towels. They both have aircons and fans for those really hot summer days. The parking is secured with a night security guard.
