Good value but would pay more for somewhere better
Very cheap but could see why. At the top of a steep hill a bit out of town, was walkable but difficult both up and down. Pool was very small. On the plus side for self catering it was adequate and the gardens were nice to relax in. The owner and staff were helpfull and very friendly, overall we enjoyed our stay and was good value for money.

Pięknie położone apartamenty
Apartamenty położone z pięknym widokiem nad zatokę i miasto ok 5 min spacerem od centrum miasta. Pokoje bardzo ładne i czyste, gustownie urządzone w szczególności świetne apartamenty na 1 piętrze. Bardzo miła i uczynna właścicielka Janine, która była cały czas do dyspozycji, służyła pomocą i dobrymi radami odnośnie zwiedzania i doboru restauracji. Świetny pobyt ! :)))

Einmaliger Ausblick
Auf unserer Rundreise waren wir für 2 Nächte dort. Das Appartment ist klasse, die Einrichtung absolut vollständig. Phänomenal ist der Blick auf die Bucht, absolut wie auf den Bildern und zum genießen. Wenn wir wieder dort sind, gerne wieder.
