Gather together with your better half at the vintage table, romantically positioned by the bay window, and soak in the views across the glistening waters as you indulge over candlelight.
If you're not ready for the excitement to end, venture outdoors to the shared terrace, where you can meet likeminded holiday-makers as you take in the mesmerizing sights across the roof tops of this sought-after town.
As the day draws to a close, move through the property to discover the sumptuous double bedroom, where you can relish an invigorating rinse under the rainfall shower head in the stylish en-suite before catching your rest ahead of a new day.
Completing this fabulous apartment is a convenient wet room, promising that there will be no queues to get ready in the morning!
