Mal and Simone were great hosts! We arrived just before Christmas and found the Sanctuary exactly as advertised (sunny, bright, tastefully furnished, well provisioned) and they even were kind enough to provide a small Christmas tree, candy and a present. We returned the favor upon departure. The garden was wonderful. High on a hill it had a lovely breeze. The beach is within easy walking distance and fine restaurants are located a few blocks away down the hill. The Sanctuary was quiet, and fully lived up to its name!
