“We love this holiday so much we have returned several times . The buggy rides, the snorkelling , wine tasting, the cycling, the kayaking , beautiful secluded beaches , coastal walks , paddle boarding and wonderful trips on the yacht to very special places … the need not to worry about breakfast and lunches and the sunset cruise … each year the children chose what they wanted to do and we relaxed - enjoying activities together and never needing to nag them to get up and participate. Simply joyful . Returning again this year ! All 7 of us .”
