Rob and Anna were amazing. We were greeted at the airport by Rob and taken to our accommodation. Anna had made homemade bread and parfaits which were so appreciated as we had an early flight. The property was very clean and everything we needed was provided. Location was wise this area on the island is beautiful and we were within walking distance of Wigmores and a beautiful restaurant called Vaima’s.
