The property is in a great location within the old port with magnificent sea views, which change every day. With a short walk to shops and restaurants and a short drive to amazing beaches, we would highly recommend a holiday at L'hippocampe aux Bornes!
Nous avons passé un agréable séjour dans un appartement atypique mais très bien aménagé et confortable. Je recommande. Patrick nous donne de bonne adresse en restauration et vendeur d'huître.
Nous avons passé une semaine idyllique.
Une vue sur la mer absolument fabuleuse.
Logement très bien aménagé, tout y est et à plusieurs c’est l’idéal, chacun a son espace.
