  Description

  We are an international and multilingual little family. We are positive and love to live life at full by making new social connections and widening our life experiences. We live in a beautiful flat with an amazing view over the sea and mountains. There is a communal area and pool and local facilities close by such as shops, bus stops, a sport center, a few restaurants and smaller supermarkets. The local area is beautiful to explore hiking or walking with viewpoints, local farms, mountains and trails.
  
  About 30 min walk (or 5 min by car) from there there is a larger center, two different beaches and many more restaurants and things to do.
