Beautiful apartment, brilliantly equipped, clean and comfy. We stayed for two nights and didn’t expect anyone to come in to make beds and replenish teas and coffee etc but they did. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Astor House
Check in was easy, good communications with host. Well equipped, comfortable and spacious apartment with a great view of the bay. Good value for money, especially in the off season. A car is a must as the roads are very, very steep.
