Beautiful apartment (we had nr1) literally looking at the beach from the livingroom and kitchen area. When you cross the street you are at the beach. Wonderful view of the ocean, when you are having breakfast on the terrace or with the glass sliding doors open in the livingroom. Everything was very clean, modern and had everything you can possibly need there. it felt great to spend a couple of days around Christmas there and we felt very spoiled.

The room was airy with two separate sliding doors giving access to the garden and decks with tables and chairs for dining outdoors. The room got the morning sun. The bathroom was spacious, and two glass walls of the shower opened right up. The breakfast was laid out for the guests from 8 to 9am, and included mostly breads and sugary things and dairy, which is typical for European breakfasts. I don't eat sugar or dairy, but managed to find enough: boiled eggs, fresh fruit and cold cuts.
