Bathrooms and balconies:
BATHROOMS. There are two bathrooms each complete with jacuzzi bath / shower, toilet, washbasin and bidet. A hallway leads to each double bedroom and bathroom, so this gives a choice of having both bathrooms en suite or one en suite or both for general use.
BALCONIES. Each balconies is exclusively private. At night you can see the small fishing boats dot the sea with their fascinating lights and the moon shimmering lightly on the waves below.
A glass of wine taken on the balcony at this time is a heavenly experience. The daytime view to one side catches the long beach and a glimpse of the port and to the other, the uncrowded beach as it stretches to the next village. Take a relaxing walk here, or indeed a hasty one .... a splendid exercise session, in wonderful surroundings.
