Waarom mensen ervan houden
- The 'Magic Box' breakfast delivery hatch is a delightful, contactless morning ritual
- Host Vicky is legendary—acts like a personal luxury concierge for bookings and tips

Snel Overzicht: It’s not a hotel, it’s three high-end maisonettes sharing a killer pool and a rocky beach—book the whole thing or be prepared to make friends.
Beoordeeld door @erolbrasco: I woke up early just for this sunrise and it was totally worth it. Having breakfast on the private terrace with that infinity pool blending into the ocean was the highlight of my trip. It felt incredibly private and romantic—perfect for just disconnecting.

Reality check
The 'beachfront' claim is true, but don't expect miles of white sand—it's a small, rocky access point best for snorkeling.
- You value privacy and personalized service over big buffets
- You are a group of 6-18 people who can rent the whole estate
- You hate fighting for pool chairs at 7am

Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is the pool private?
Technically shared between the 3 maisonettes unless you book the 'Entire Villa' option. Confirm with the host if exclusivity is a dealbreaker.
Is there a restaurant on site?
No. Breakfast is delivered, but for other meals, you'll need to walk to Vardiola or Crossroads (nearby tavernas) or drive.
Is the beach sandy?
No. It is a rocky cove with a paved deck and steps into the water. The seabed is sandy once you're in, but the shore is pebbles/rocks.
Is it good for kids?
Yes, but with caveats: lots of stairs and no kids' club. Better for teens than toddlers.
How is the WiFi?
Excellent. Starlink or high-speed fiber is standard, reliable enough for remote work.
Is there a gym?
There is a 'fitness center' listed, but it's minimal. Don't expect a full weight room; think yoga/cardio space.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
Ask Vicky (the host) to book your boat trips; she has connections that get you better rates and private skippers.
- ✨
The 'Magic Box' hatch has a bell—listen for it in the morning for your fresh pastries.
- ✨
Walk 5 minutes to Vardiola Restaurant for sunset dinner; the views rival the hotel's.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The 'private beach' is really just a concrete platform with sunbeds and a ladder into the sea.
💡You might be sharing the 'private' infinity pool with two other families if the complex is full.
💡The indoor pool is in the basement spa area and can be a bit dark, but it's heated.
💡Delivery from local restaurants is possible if you don't want to go out.
💡The driveway is steep and can be tricky for nervous drivers.
