Due to a very sad bereavement the apartment has not been available for rental since 2015. However, I am pleased to say that it is now back on the rental market. It proved very popular before, as can be seen from the fantastic reviews and it also gained a five star Trip Advisor award in 2014. I only started using this site in June 2020 so all reviews before this time were those given earlier by guests booking through other holiday sites. Before I go any further I wish to inform you that I now own the apartment next door which is essentially an identical property offering similar facilities. This apartment will be available, in addition to the current one, for the months of June, July, August and September from 2021. This makes it ideal for two family groups or groups of friends and it sleeps up to four people. This property can be viewed under property number 366973 Now back to the current property.
