The welcome was exceptional, with warm hospitality that made us feel right at home. The room (Terrasse) is cozy but could use a little refresh and a bit more attention to cleaning detail—nothing major, but something to note. That said, the bedding was comfortable, and the breakfast was generous and delicious, featuring high-quality local ingredients. Despite some evening activity from nearby bars and restaurants, the night remained peaceful. We woke up gently to the soft sounds of fishermen early in the morning—a perfect, authentic way to start the day. Overall, this place offers a unique, tranquil escape with great value. It’s definitely worth experiencing if you're looking for something quiet, beautiful, and off the beaten path.
