Stay here to explore the chanting Coromandel Peninsula, with excellent local tips from Elena, Matthias’s charming wife. The comfortable, spacious apartment is the lower floor of their home in a quiet suburb on the edge of Thames, with distant views to the bay. Breakfast is included, with cereals, fruit, veggies, freshly baked bread, cheeses, and good coffee. Best of all is the opportunity to converse with Elena whose gracious hospitality and suggested itineraries made our trip memorable.
