His place is located on the top of a mountain, with amazing views towards the beach. The food is very good, and we had a Fish Curry with some homemade ice cream. You can also just pop by to have an espresso and enjoy the views. Prices are now high.

It was very humid and we noticed the hilly track. There is a wonderful variety of plants, fruits trees and some tortoises. My wife, a keen gardner, wanted to buy the place!.

Mme George, its lovely owner/hostess will regale you with family stories and make you want to spend the day. Stop in to the Creperie for... More
