    Beautiful and thoughtfully presented property- excellent, well-designed and very comfortable accommodation. Everything about the apartment epitomised luxury, from the linens and toiletries to the appliances and furnishings. Modern convenience with heritage personal touches that were highly appreciated. Fabulous, quiet location, close to the beach. Our host was wonderful, communicative and ensured our stay was perfect. If it was possible to give 6 stars, we would.
