The villa was spacious, well-equipped with all amenities, and conveniently located just a short walk from the beach. The reception staff were very helpful and provided useful information for first-time visitors to the area. The property features a lovely pool, sauna, and restaurant, with beautiful ocean views from the patio and terrace. It is also situated right along the famous Seven Hanging Valleys Trail. The only issue during our stay was an unexpected water shut-off on both days. We would have appreciated prior notice so we could prepare accordingly. Overall, our stay was very enjoyable and relaxing.

Looks very nice from outside but the property is old and not the best maintained. Staff are nice and responsive. The interior of the accommodation was very ordinary even the towels were old and worn. Near to the city center and somewhat walkable 20/25min to the beach.
