The property was set in beautiful surroundings. A gorgeous swimming pool, and a vegetable garden where you could help yourself to fresh produce added to our stay. The apartment was clean, the beds comfy, the kitchen simple but adequate. The hosts were very helpful and sorted out a few problems quickly and with no fuss. A perfect, slightly off the track place to relax and unwind whilst still close enough to everything to let you be a true tourist.
