Close to train station, butcher, small grocery store, veggie/fruit stand all basically across the street and the town Center walkable in 5-10mins. The owner and her family were very nice and accommodating to our requests and were able to communicate well in english... especially during a power outage in the middle of the night! They are very available and gracious hosts, my family had a fantastic time as did we... the Pool was wonderful on hot days! Thank you again for a wonderful stay!

Built just after the beginning of the last century, this is a stunning villa, 5 minutes walk from the centre and harbour front.Clean private swimming-pool, Cafe and supermarket / delicatessen across the road. 7 of us stayed in this villa, for a week, we were sorry to leave. ##### Robert P.
