The property caters mainly to families and couples on a seaside holiday, thanks to its proximity to the shoreline and an informal atmosphere that guests particularly appreciate for its location, rated 8.9 out of 10.
The rooms, ranging from the Double Room with Single Beds to the spacious two-bedroom apartment, come with free WiFi, a balcony, air conditioning and a private bathroom, with some options designed for larger families thanks to private kitchens and more generous space.

The Double Room/Twin Room with Single Beds and the Triple Room are the more compact options, suited to two or three people, while those travelling in a group or with children can rely on the Two-Bedroom Apartment, considerably larger and equipped with a private kitchen with dishwasher, fridge and hob.
This latter option, at 60 square metres, stands out for its private entrance and layout across two separate bedrooms, able to accommodate up to five people between single beds, a double bed and a sofa bed.
