Lovely well decorated apartment with everything we needed. Easy parking, excellent location. However, we booked an apartment with ocean views but were not allocated one which had ocean views.

The hotel has great views of the surrounding mountains. Its not far to walk to the supermarket, or to the town centre. The apartment was very warm with the luxury of underfloor heating.
