Offering a remarkable 445 kilometres of pristine coastline, including tranquil coves and sandy beaches, visitors can find plenty of secluded spots to soak up the sun.

Highly recommended!
We had a wonderful stay in this house with 3 families! The location was simply fantastic - surrounded by nature and yet close enough to the surrounding seaside resorts. The house itself was very clean, cozy and tastefully decorated, we wanted for nothing. The infinity pool and the view were breathtaking, perfect for relaxing and the landlady was very friendly and always helpful.

Recommend
We had a great vacation in this accommodation with 11 people. The accommodation offers far more space than we needed. Everything was very clean and well maintained. The landlady is a super nice lady who tries to fulfill every wish. We arrived way too early and were spontaneously allowed to go straight into the villa. The handover was also very pleasant despite the language barrier. Overall, I can recommend this accommodation to anyone.

Perfect holiday - gladly again!
The house is beautiful and very tastefully furnished. The infinity pool and the distant view are a dream. The landlady C. is super nice and very concerned about the well-being of the guest. She gave us lots of tips for trips and shopping in the area. Everything great, can only be recommended! We'd love to come back.
