Beachside · Sea View · Underwater Restaurant 2km
★ “Shoulders dropped the moment we arrived.” That is what our guests say. And we understand. The living room faces the sea. The courtyard has seating that follows the sun all day. Evenings gather around the pizza oven and fireplace. Couples, families, groups of friends – up to 10 guests. ★ “Even better than the photos” – guests write it again and again. Many come back year after year. The day starts with coffee and a sea view. Quiet enough to hear your own thoughts again.
