    It is a quiet location in a garden and very basic hotel. A fire is placed every evening. Several dogs and cats on site (but 1 dog is not healthy).

    The hosts lovely, engaging and made time to take me to some activities. Spacious rooms. Well kept gardens. Green location, close to the beach
  • Pavel

    Thoughtfully designed garden with few small houses. Family peace created by Giuditta and Omar and their brave baby boy. Five cuddly dogs and two little cats, birds, night singing and talking along everynight campfire, swinging under trees. Home...
