Guest comments
Guest nº 1:The house was very comfortable and well furnished. The garden in particular had everything we needed in it. It was possible to sit in the sun at any time of the day. We had a wonderful week and enjoyed visiting the local beaches very much. They were stunning with white sand and turquoise sea."
Guest nº 2: The downstairs appartment we stayed in was spacious and clean and ideal for young children as it led straight out on to the large and safe garden (with its sunloungers and hammocks). It is perfectly located for Limens beach, a two minute walk away, which is completely unspoilt and has very few foreign tourists. There are lots of beaches a short drive away which are also lovely with views out to the islands.
