    The room is breezy with an amazing view, private and close to a relaxed beach. Easy to reach nearby places. The family is so welcoming, the breakfast delicious and I wish we could have stayed longer. This is ideal for relaxing for a couple of days!

    The rooms are located in a quiet bay, next to the family house of the owner. The room had a nice balcony, and a small restaurant/bar nearby.
