There is a beautiful relaxing swimming pool area with spa lounges, placed in a peaceful garden with birds and trees.

Despite such a tranquil location, there is a shopping centre nearby as well as beaches, a harbour as well as the countryside which provides panoramic views. The entire property is non-smoking, creating a healthy atmosphere that perfectly reflects the natural environment in which it is situated.
