Can I book on-line ?
Sorry, we don’t participate in the automated booking schemes proposed by some of the major publicity sites. There are good reasons for this and both ourselves and Select Villas much prefer the personal contact with clients. Please note that you get the same security of booking through an established company.
Is the swimming pool sole use ?
For all these villas, where a swimming pool is stated in the property description, then it is for sole use. There is also the possibility of a few villas without a swimming pool, which is a more ecomomical option. This is subject to a specific quotation.
Is the swimming pool heated ?
The private pool is open from April to the end of September. Pool heating is included in the rental price for 25/4/26 to 26/9/26 and available at €25 per day for other dates (requested at the time of booking and for the full duration of your stay). There may be a restriction on the dates for which this is possible in early and late season, depending on weather conditions and no garantie given on the temperature obtained. If this option is taken, the heating will be switched on well before your arrival, so it must be confirmed at the time of your reservation.
Is there internet access at the property ?

How far is it to the nearest beach, to amenities ?
See the Locality Details section for the exact distances to local amenities. Note that on the site there is a good restaurant, as well as a bar, snack bar and a bread shop (June to September only).
