Paths run through the garden to different parts of the beach and you can see (and hear) the sea from most parts of the property. It is set in extensive grounds with hard surface tennis court, boules court and heated pool, and has a couple as cook/housekeeper and gardener who live in a separate cottage, speak English and are very helpful.
