It may be hard to believe but the property actually looks even nicer than on the photos! It's in perfect condition and very well maintained. The owner looks after it very meticoulously and she is also extremely friendly and available, she came around a few times to provide whatever we needed.
It's well located, about 10 minutes drive from a nice beach, shops and lots of restaurant. It's best to have a car as there is not much within walking distance.
It has absoultely everything for a good family vacation. with 22 people we didn't feel crumped at all as there are good sized communal areas, huge garden, large swimming pool, large dining room enough for 22 people, kids room... All of our guests were amazed! This is definately a place to come to!
