“It's the little details here that truly elevate the stay - think complimentary wine and cheese, or perhaps the binoculars for appreciating the marina views. The rooms are remarkably spacious and kept to an immaculate standard, with comfortable beds ensuring a restful night. Breakfast, served in your room with a vista, is a particularly well-received touch, and the owner's local knowledge proves invaluable.”
