Чому люди це люблять
- Direct private stair access to Convent Beach
- Design-forward interiors that feel like a wealthy friend's guest house
- Incredible ocean views where you can spot dolphins from your balcony
Короткий огляд: It’s a stunning, expensive Airbnb-style experience with hotel pricing, so don't expect a 24/7 concierge or room service.
Переглянуто @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.
