Elisa was warm and friendly and showed us the place when we arrived. We found it just right for two people, and well laid out, stocked and appointed.

The furnishings are comfortable. We sat and read inside some nights, and brought the little table and chairs outside a few times, just like in the pictures, and sat drinking wine under the stars. The stairs to the second floor loft are steep, so a certain amount of care is needed to negotiate those. The skylight windows in the bedroom allow the air to circulate and keep the room cool.

The location is just amazing--the place faces a small walkway that borders the beach. You can open the windows and doors and watch the waves crash against the breakwater, as well as the fisherman leave and arrive with their daily catches. You can then walk down the block and buy a freshly caught fish, as well as some vegetables and other staples at the local markets. The fish we grilled was the best we'd ever had.

The beach was wonderful--beautiful sand and clean. The water was rough--we didn't swim, but saw local surfers nearby. We walked up the coast to other beaches, which might provide better swimming options. The best bet for swimming might be the local pool, which is a short walk southward. You don't need a membership, but will need a cap and flip-flops, as well as your suit.
