The rooms are very spacious and beautifully decorated, with lots of nice ornaments. The location is beautiful - the garden greenery combined with the sea sight was majestic and added to my relaxation. I also loved the idea of watching my breakfast being prepared for me, gave the home vibes. Above all, the staff and management are amazing - they make you feel like you are the only guest. Special thanks to Ninette and Sphe for your warmth and all your help during my short stay, much appreciated.
