“Welcoming, beautiful and restorative”
Loved the location with an incredible open view of the sea. We saw a whale even though it was not whale season. The simple design of the apartment is very pleasing, clean and comfortable. Its a quick walk to the beach for wonderful swimming and a walk along the coast either way. The breakfast box was great and it suited us as we could walk and then eat on our return.
