Краткий обзор: It’s a stunning, expensive Airbnb-style experience with hotel pricing, so don't expect a 24/7 concierge or room service.
Подтверждено @AlastairEmmett6794033: I honestly didn't want to leave. The vibe is pure retro Mediterranean magic. My favorite part was taking the picnic basket down to the rocks for oysters at sunset—it felt so private and special. The room design is just impeccable.
