Second time staying at IL Mare

Loved our second visit to this property. The views and sounds of the Ocean are lovely and a very short walk away if you want to swim. The upstairs living area is huge with plenty of room to cook, eat and relax. Having three bathrooms makes it easy for everyone to clean up ready for the next day's adventure.

Winter getaway

Amazing views and lovely house. Fireplace and multiple heaters so the whole house was warm even though it was very cold outside. Beds were comfortable, showers had good water pressure and kitchen had a good range of cooking equipment. The host provided good info about the house and some tips for things to do in the area. Would definitely stay again.

Sea views for miles

This is a lovely property which was very well presented. The upstairs living area and deck is a great place to lay around and enjoy the sea air. The downstairs bedrooms are lovely.
