About this house rental

With the beach just 10 meters away, a private sandy yard under natural tree shade, and uninterrupted sea views, this home is ideal for guests who want to live right by the water, not just near it.

The interiors are filled with natural light, enhanced by wooden ceilings, and open onto a seafront balcony where the sound of the waves becomes part of your daily rhythm.
Mornings begin barefoot on the sand with coffee just steps from the sea. Days are spent swimming in crystal-clear waters, relaxing in the private beach yard, or enjoying nearby beach bars and restaurants. Evenings are made for long conversations on the balcony, with wine in hand and the sea just below.
