Near the sea. Comfortable room but rather cramped. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice. The hosts were friendly and welcoming.

Second floor room with 40 steps up. No overnight staff.

Dan was an exceptional host and he and Daniela provided an excellent breakfast with lots of choices.

My single room- inevitably carved out of what had been a larger one - was prone to noise through the party walls. Separate bathroom a half-landing away (although not a huge problem).
