Light and airy lounge with view of the sea. Property basically clean. Pillows and mattresses could do with updating. Bedroom/bathroom area wasnât ventilated enough. Outside decking a wonderful place to sit in the evening.

Property is very well furnished with everything you need for a comfortable holiday. The view from the balcony is to die for and the setting is so peaceful. Beds re super comfortable too and we slept really soundly in our time here. Loved the area glad to be away from the crowds in other areas of the island. Very happy we booked this property
