With sun-kissed terraces, alfresco dining options, a private pool and sea views, outdoors is the place to be at this villa. Inside, the home is comfortable and fuss-free, and with no wi-fi, you’re invited to truly switch off and relax. With its enviable location, a short walk will take you to Torre Suda with a selection of shops and restaurants.

Home truths
The swimming pool, open between 1st May and 31st October, isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
There's no wi-fi here. It might be worth bringing a personal hotspot device with you if you know you'll need to access the internet.
The bedroom curtains here don't fully block out the sunlight. If you're hoping to enjoy a lie-in, you might want to pack an eye mask.

The decor here is a little generic – those looking for a more luxurious stay may wish to look elsewhere.
