We had a very enjoyable holiday based at Ivana's place. Ivana was very welcoming, and managed to cope with our lack of Italian. The home-cooked pastries she left for us were delicious, and we really should have asked for the recipes. The house was spotlessly clean and very liveable. The terrace, in particular, was a great place for the evenings. The location is walking distance to the beach, a couple of grocery shops, and numerous restaurants. The local beach is mostly rocky, but the nearest part has a small sandy cove. There are many other beaches of different types within driving distance. It was particularly helpful that Ivana provided a beach umbrella and a couple of folding chairs. All in all, a great base for a beach holiday with small kids.
