Idyllic peaceful location unless you don't like narrow roads. Comfy. Just right for two. Helpful host without being intrusive. Close to many beautiful beaches and sites of interest.

Beautiful remote location. The accommodation could do with some modest tlc ; for example the bathroom shower curtain needed replacing and fixing ; the toilet seat screws were evidently the wrong size and the water pressure needed to be adjusted to avoid the intermittent loud noises.
