We only used one bedroom out of the four on offer, but it was nicely furnished and very comfortable. Parking was also convenient with a good sized space behind the house. Fantastic location close to the beautiful beach and opposite a shop and a great Spanish restaurant (dog friendly). One thing could be improved upon - the rear gate from the car space to the garden is quite difficult to open. Apart from that no complaints at all. We would happily return.
