This was the most beautiful house we've ever stayed in. It has an amazing garden with palm trees, a banana tree, colorful flowers, a 40 meter long bush of rosemary, terraces with breathtaking views,... It's close to the beach, the city, the park, yet it feels very private and very relaxing. Great restaurants were only a short walk away. We walked everywhere, but the street is a little bit steep, so sometimes our kids (2 and 4) and their grandmother (74) would take a cab (taxi) back up to the house. Cabs were easy to find and cheap.
Rosana was really helpful and took amazing care of us. We didn't want to leave.
