“Perfect, met expectations”
17 Mar 2025
The property and room absolutely met our expectations. The room was large and lovely with a sea view from the little balcony, from the comfy king-size bed, and even from the bathroom! Breakfast, which you decide the night before, was delicious. Before breakfast, we took advantage of the access to the stunning cliffs path.
