Ideally located for exploring the beaches (ten minutes away by car) and mountains (fifty minutes by car). The accommodation is very well equipped, and benefits from a communal pool. There are lovely views of the mountains from the tremendous roof terrace, which is ideal for breakfast and BBQs and general lounging in the sunshine.
