Review: Superb views from the lounge and bedrooms of the sea, the harbour and the mountains. A minute from the railway station. Very comfortable. Everything provided. Owners onsite if any problems. As a 75 year old the bath was tricky to get into to have a shower although a stool was provided, and the stairs up to the apartment were also a bit tricky for the less mobile. Especially going down when holding 2 excitable dogs racing to get to the wonderful nearby beach. A big thank you to the owners for..., by Gill, 10 October 2026, rated 8/10 Very good

Review: The property was in a beautiful and hidden location. It had everything you need for a few nights stay, even an iron (which we had brought with us). Lovely and relaxing place to stay.
