Holiday Chalet with stunning sea views

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (3)
"The chalet is amazing in every way. From beautiful sea views where we watched the most amazing sunsets, to the best equipped kitchen I've ever used when staying away. Half of the things I packed I didn't need as Amanda has thought of it all. We will be coming back to this beautiful chalet, myself, hubby and my girls have all had a wonderful time. The children's books and games were a life saver on the rainy mornings! Thanks so much for a wonderful stay Amanda! "
