Exceptional Apartment!
This was our second year at the apartment, it was every bit as good as the first - standards haven’t slipped at all… it’s spotlessly clean, beautiful decor, very spacious, really comfy beds and pillows, everything you could possibly need is provided and the sea view from the balcony is breathtaking - cannot wait to return again next year
Nothing! It’s perfect

Excellent place to stay but building work on the building ruined the trip. From 7:30 in the morning building work kicked off with noise all day . A pump was running all day and night as well as scaffolding banging all night
