• Private Kitchen: Whip up your own snacks or full meals (or just store the wine).

• Massive Beds: King-size beds (2x2m!) that practically beg for a lie-in.

• Terraces with a View: Treat yourself to a sea-facing room - they come with private terraces overlooking the bay, ideal for a morning coffee or sunset drink.

• Free Wi-Fi: For posting those poolside pics or Googling “best tapas near me.”
