    The location is great, there are some great beaches and restaurants at walking distance. The facilities are secure, quiet and very new. Everything is clean and tidy including the pool outside. We were served a delicious breakfast every morning. Margherita is an amazing host, she gave us many recommendations including for beaches, restaurants and transportation. Highly recommended.
