Jen provided a great breakfast: coffee, tea, yogurt, fruit. Great selection of breads and pastries and condiments. The dining room was inviting and guests had a chance for relaxed conversation. There was also a well stocked and clean communal kitchen, in addition to an outdoor bbq/dining area, where we could prepare dinner. The rooms are beautiful with an excellent view to the gardens and mountains. This is indeed an oasis after a day of touring. Jen is a very knowledgeable and interesting host - very helpful and thoughtful (only nightlight in all of our stays!) and her two boys are just great!

Waves is in an excellent location just a few minutes walk from town. Our two bedroom apartment was at the front of the building and enjoyed fabulous views out to sea. It had two outside balcony areas ideal for capturing different views for dinner and breakfast. The kitchen was very well appointed and contained all that you need to prepare meals. The bedrooms and bathrooms were both of a good size and spotlessly clean. Little or no road noise because of double glazing and a pretty quiet location.
