Beautiful Villa close to the beach with private pool, garden and terrace

10/10 Excellent
"Sublime maison décorée avec beaucoup de goût, très très propre et parfaitement équipée, rien ne manquait aussi bien à ma cuisine, côté piscine ou encore une magnifique salle de sport de compétition. Très proche de la mer (une petite crique juste en face mais beaucoup d'algues) mais une plus grande à 10mn à pieds très très bien. Beaucoup d'excellents restaurants à proximité. Et Cristina parfaite dans son rôle d'hôtesse, très serviable et d'une gentillesses. Sans aucun doute une maison à recommander, pour ma part nous louons depuis plus de 10 ans et c'est une de mes préférées. Adresse à conserver pour un jour y revenir."
