It’s a 1km walk to the town beach from this pretty little complex, but if you don’t fancy that there’s a small pool around which the four rooms and four studios with kitchenettes are arranged, surrounded by a charming garden. The welcome is very warm and breakfast on the terrace is lovely. A good find, but book ahead year-round.
