A great apartment, very clean, with a large terrace where you can grill, very modern, new bed with a good mattress. The manager was very nice and helpful. What we missed, a microwave, wasn't a problem. We were very satisfied.

A wonderful place to relax. We received a warm welcome upon arrival and immediately felt welcome. The apartment is very cozy, lovingly furnished, and equipped with everything we needed. It's spacious, pleasantly cool, and the bed is extremely comfortable. The water is just a minute away, with a jetty and ladder, so you can easily swim even without beach shoes. The expansive swimming area has many shady spots, and a larger beach is also nearby. The location is also perfect: a bakery, a small shop, a fruit and vegetable stand, and the promenade are only about 300 meters away. There's a good selection of restaurants, and since everything is within walking distance, you really don't need a car. The owners are very welcoming, attentive, and always helpful. We felt completely at home and can wholeheartedly recommend this place.

The apartment has everything you could imagine. It's quietly located on a side street up the hill, about 800 meters from a bakery, small supermarket, and butcher. From the large roof terrace, you have a beautiful view of the sunset over the water. As a welcome gift, we received a large gift of high-quality local products – thank you very much! A great apartment with very good air conditioning. Highly recommended!
