Guest comments
This is a great apartment, very clean, new and well equipped tucked away from the crowds, in the corner of the village. I couldn't have asked for anything better! I would recommend reserving restaurants ahead as the village can get very busy and tend to close quite early (not like London), we nearly became croppers simply thinking we could get a table on a Saturday night and had a hungry wait. Overall, a fantastic holiday and I cannot wait to come back! Thank you very much. Alex GB
House swap
