Ideal zentral gelegen! Nur ein paar Schritte zu einem traumhaften Sandstrand. Nur ein paar wenige Schritte zum Einkaufen. Nur ein paar Schritte zu guten Restaurants. Das Haus ist super gepflegt. Alles tipptopp sauber. Sowohl innen als auch außen, incl. tollem Pool. Wir haben uns mit 9 Personen absolut wohl gefühlt. Wenn wir Fragen hatten war immer jemand im 24/7 Modus sofort zu erreichen.
