“Nice setting, nice people”
The setting is very nice: good beach in front of the hotel, walking distance to town, the rooms are nice or even superb (rooms at seaside), and the owner as well as staff were extremely friendly. The small bay in front of the hotel is actually like a big natural swimmingpool.
