Pros: The guesthouse is in an excellent location, a short distance from the main attractions. The room was perfect, as was the welcome from Simonette and Anne Marie. The swimming pool available to guests offers a pleasant place to relax. I hope to return soon!

We will be back!

Pros: Very friendly hosts, very good breakfast. Excellent garden and pool. Easy and safe parking. Rooms are large and exactly like promoted.

Cons: Some noise from the road. Living room was locked in the evening, when the hosts disappeared as they do not live on-site. This meant we had to sit outside, which is not perfect in other cooler weather.

We loved relaxing next to the pool in the sun, views over the ocean. The location is perfect. You really have access to

Pros: Great swimming pool area with sun loungers, rooms area clean and comfortable with everything you need (hairdryer, etc). There’s a kitchen / lounge area / reading nook that we could also use after breakfast in the mornings. So you really have access to everything you need. Most of all, the staff is exceptionally helpful and friendly.

Cons: There’s nothing we didn’t like.
