Guest comments
Fantastic house and location, so much to do and see, we went to a different beach everyday, all of which are beautiful.
we had a great time at la Creu in August! We liked the house, we loved the pool, the view over the woods is great from the kitchen balcony.
The kids loved it, especially the pool and the teenagers could make their own way to the beach and shops.
A lovely place to spend an out of season break - very comfortable with central heating and a lovely log fire and so peaceful. If you are a walker, the coastal path is wonderful.
