And don't forget that all these you are getting for more than a fair price. Would reco for anybody who does not absolutely need an ocean view while staying in this region.

The young lady who owns and works at the Hotel (I cant' believe I have forgotten her name) was very kind and accommodating.

“Charming ....”

Nice boutique hotel with a beautiful garden! Clean, rather new, nice and helpful staff. We wanted to stay only 1 night and ended up staying 3 nights there .... great location if you want to go hiking and to the beach from one location ... good breakfast, recommendable!
