A beautiful place to relax and be in peace. All the people that have been here were amazed with the house and property. Very nice, quiet area, very friendly neighbourhood. Very good areas for picnics, lay down in the grass, feel the nature and enjoy the breathtaking view. The private viewpoint is perfect to see the sunset, or just to chill out. The house is prepared for four people. it is not allowed extra guests to the reservation.The paradise is here, please treat it well.
We are a couple of teachers that felt in love with this place. We love nature and the beach. We are both very helpful so if there is any problem we will try to help you.
One of the best things about this place are the neighbours. Very friendly people and always there for you. You are going to love them. It is a very quiet place so during the night it is important to respect the others. Silence after 10 p.m. is obliged.
