Auch zur Düne von Pyla kann man einen schönen Weg von 40min durch den Wald nehmen. Wir hatten leider keine Räder dabei, das wäre ideal gewesen! Interieur hat Retro Charme, Duschbad ist modernisiert. Es ist alles da, was man braucht - und die Katze des Hauses hat uns auch gut getan! Genauso liebenswürdig wie die Gastgeberin. Man hat ausreichend Privatsphäre, da Wohnung und Terrasse uneinsehbar sind. Ein erholsamer Aufenthalt, vielen Dank! ##### Ulrike A.

You don't need the car to go to the beach, it is only 10 min walk. The apartment is exactly as described. The territory is big and green. We enjoyed the view of the garden with beautiful pines from our windows. There are a lot of pines in this area. After visiting sights we could relax at a calm and peaceful place. The rooms were very clean and the kitchen was very well equipped. The owner Dany is a wonderful hospitable person. We were impressed by fantastic french wine that Dany provided us.
