Set at the quieter end of the bay, it offers relaxed, simple beachside living within walking distance of cafés, restaurants, and vineyards. The Space: Apartment 19 is all about light, simplicity, and effortless days by the beach. The living area opens to wide windows that frame soft views across the landscaped grounds toward the water. Morning sun reaches the lounge and dining space, keeping the apartment warm and inviting without feeling enclosed. The layout is straightforward and practical. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area sits at the front of the apartment, with the two bedrooms set quietly toward the rear for privacy. The kitchen includes full-size appliances, generous bench space, and everything needed for preparing easy meals at home. The lounge is arranged for relaxed downtime after the beach, with comfortable seating and a clear outlook across the grounds. Glass doors lead to the balcony, where guests can sit with a drink, enjoy the late afternoon light, or listen to the waves across the bay. Both bedrooms are well sized. The master has a king bed and warm natural light. The second bedroom has a king bed that can be split into singles on request, making the apartment suitable for couples, small families, or friends travelling together.
