Reviews

Excellent accommodation for a couple 4.8/5

We really enjoyed our stay from every point of view. The apartment was absolutely perfect for a couple. It was surprisingly sunny and was very well equipped with everything one could possibly want. We loved the courtyard with so many exotic plants and comfortable outdoor table and chairs. One observation is the shower: it is not easy to get in particularly for us older folks. We will be back there sometime early spring and would like to thank Amanda for the welcoming tea tray and biscuits. Most welcomed!
