Der Außenbereich dieses Ferienhauses ist einfach phantastisch. Die schattigen Olivenbäume reichen direkt bis an die Haustür. Es gibt aber auch sonnige Plätze direkt am Haus, und bequeme, gepolsterte Liegen - überall mit Blick aufs Meer. Die Essküche ist ziemlich klein - was aber kaum stört, da es auch direkt vor der Haustür einen Esstisch mit Blick aufs Meer gibt. Ionna ist ein extrem großzügiger Gastgeber. Wir wurden mit einem warmen Bohneneintopf mit Hühnchen empfangen. Und eine volle Flasche mit Öl von den eigenen Olivenbäumen haben wir heil bis nach Deutschland gebracht.
