This is exactly as it says it is, as it looks in the pictures, very inviting, comfortable and easy to stay in - I loved being in the living area/room.
The view and place to sit at the top of the steps is even more inviting than it looks from the pictures - my last day I managed to sit out in amazing late afternoon winter sun with a glass of wine (kindly left by Gabriella) and a book....until the wonderful view drew me out among the estuary and the dunes with my camera that is!!
The apartment is kitted out with most of everything you need (instructions on how to use the fancy shmancy oven thingie would be great tho!!) and Gabriella doesn't seem to stint on anything.
Gabriella (I only saw her once when I arrived) was lovely and very welcoming and although I don't think she was there most of the time I don't think you would feel her presence in a bad way at all, even in the summer with the doors open right on to her garden and the end of her house.
It all has a great feel to it and I'd have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone...in the summer months.
