Peaceful location

We had a very nice stay here. The studio we stayed in was facing the water and it was nice to spend some time on the verandah watching boats go by. The room was clean, had everything we needed and the area was quiet so we managed to relax and sleep well.

We loved our couple of nights and will definitely look to return. Staying in the studio was like staying on a boat but without the rocking. Very private and relaxing with very friendly and helpful hosts.
