Summary: We absolutely loved our stay at The Shells. It is a beautiful spacious villa with stunning views at the front and private back garden with a fantastic pool and hot tub. The villa was clean and comfortable, with all the essentials in the kitchen. Communication with the host was excellent and we were made to feel at home. The villa is located less than 10 minutes walk from supermarkets and restaurants. We highly recommend staying at The Shells and wouldn't hesitate to stay again.
