A simple stone-built house, slap on the sea, on a beautiful stretch of coast to the north-west tip of the island. Sun worshippers will be delighted with the terraces but there’s plenty of shade too. A verdant courtyard behind is a lovely place to take breakfast; for lunch, move to the large shady terrace with a barbecue; later, enjoy dinner on the terrace looking out to sea.
Inside are two simple bedrooms, which can be used as either double or twin, an open-plan living area with a pine-and-white kitchen and a sitting room with an open fire, and heating and air-con in every room. You’ll find all the basics for cooking like oil, salt and spices and bottles of water in the fridge. Eat or order pizza takeaway from Pizza Marinella, a short drive, and there are plenty of restaurants in town.
Below the house are steps down to a private swimming platform, perfect for confident swimmers; the sea is deep and great for snorkelling.
My friend and I were utterly stunned by the views, and what care has the builder taken in arranging the areas to enjoy them all! Inside it is very cozy, we loved finding the books on the shelves and a corner where people leave snorkeling gear for the next guests! Needless to say, if you manage to get out of it all, you are spoiled for choice on what to visit and where to go.
