We returned to the accommodation after a few years and were again very satisfied with everything it has to offer. The owners were hospitable, we received attention upon arrival and upon departure - delicious homemade tangerines. The house has everything you need, an outdoor and indoor kitchenette, a grill, a dishwasher, 2 refrigerators, a washing machine, an outdoor pool... The area around the house is quiet and peaceful (even though it is located right next to the road), surrounded by olive groves. You can buy the freshest mussels, oysters and fish just a short walk from the house. The beach is not far at all and as a bonus, you have your own boat and paddleboard. We were very satisfied with our holiday and we would love to come back again.
