(Zu wenig Gläser, kein Krug, keine Putztücher etc.) ##### Nina H. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sean W. 5 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### An excellent property for a relaxing holiday! Apart from the cleanliness of the property, the very friendly staff and a lovely pool, the location is difficult to beat. Should you have a car, there is private parking at the end of a short narrow road. However, it is then possible to enjoy a very short stroll to the beach, as well as a slightly longer one to the supermarket and some wonderful restaurants. We loved it! ##### Sean W.
