A very comfortable stay indeed. The new owners seem to have thought of everything. The room was very comfortable, in excellent condition, spotlessly clean and fully equipped. A simple continental breakfast is included. Located right on the front of the marina and a very pleasant bistro is next door. Very helpful and friendly staff. Highly recommended.
