A warm and comfortable converted mansion that unlike many of its competitors is relatively close to the resort centre. Preferred by those who do not want to climb steep hills at the back of town, the property has splendid views along the coast and an enviable show of tasteful decor and attractive gardens.

Exterior

An attractive converted farmhouse style mansion, dating back to 1840. A modern looking 3-storey extension was added in 2000 but both sections blend well, especially as the newer section has narrow balconies with views over the garden. Shutters add character to the original building and a short drive leads up to the narrow front entrance.
