We were delighted with the accommodationin a lovely location with views of the sea and furnished to a high standard (the balcony was an added bonus). The small kitchen was fully equipped and clean and the shower room was contemporary with a large shower. Everything had been very well planned and we look forward to returning to this holiday gem !
