Open the front door and you are greeted with the feeling of being on a boat as all you can see is the Mediterranean. Change into your swimsuit and jump from the rocks or the steps into the sea.

The house is in an extraordinary location but as it is on the rocks on the edge of the sea it is quite rugged and there are no railings built into the rock. There are also lots of steps down to the house from the car park, which gives it a feeling of complete privacy. Babies plus children over 5 are welcome but toddlers may be a problem because of the steep drops.
There is no air-conditioning because constant sea breezes keep the interior of the house cool but there are fans in each bedroom.
In the winter there are plug in oil heaters and an open fire in the sitting room…
