Amazing place to stay, loved the architecture of the house, the layout, very fresh and clean, spotless, well equipped kitchen, fun to cook in and to stay in this beautiful place, with the nice garden.

Stunning location - right on the beachfront with an amazing view to wake up to! We booked a suite for our 1 night which was massive and very well equipped. Breakfast was very nice but there were a small number of waiting staff so took a bit of time.
