The guesthouse is in a renewed house originally built the year 1937. It is in a quiet countryside and has big garden with many bird species. The house is close to the sea, guests can go to the coastline, it is amazing to watch the sea, listen to it and its mysterious sound and movements. Also great to watch the birds on and above the sea, and if you are lucky you can see seals and even whales swimming in the sea.
