The house is absolutely quiet just a few steps from the beach. The view of the sea through the large panoramic windows is gigantic. Everything is perfectly clean and furnished in a perfection as we have never experienced before. Liz's description doesn't come close to that. Great beds and mattresses, kitchen equipment at its finest. Liz: You don't rent such a great house, you live in it yourself! Thank you very much for letting us spend a few days there!
