"The apartment is modern, spacious and well-equipped. It was delightful for a stay of four weeks. It's right on the marina, steps from the old town, and accessing beautiful, long walks for many miles around the harbor and out to the sea in two directions. Catherine, the host, was easy to reach and very accommodating. We loved our stay and highly recommend this property."
