I would definitely stay here again. Its in a great location as its title says not far from the sea and close to the forest. Great welcome pack including homemade cake and a big bowl of fruit. Well equipped kitchen and spacious bathroom. The only little negative was the extreme firmness of the double bed! ... not very comfy. Otherwise its a great little place to stay
