Wonderful accommodations in a beautiful setting. We loved having a full living room separate from the bedroom. The bathroom looked virtually brand new, loved the shower. And we actually used the washer dryer, it came in handy! Cafés, restaurants and supermarket were centrally located which was helpful. The owners were very lovely people as well, which is an added plus.

Enjoyable stay!

Yeon and Javier were amazing hosts! They greeted us upon arrival and checked in to make sure we were all set. The adorable cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. The local wine and Theo chocolate was a thoughtful host gift. We enjoyed the courtyard and lovely gardens and the area was walkable to several parks/beaches/restaurants and on street parking was easy. We'll be back for sure!
