Positive: We enjoyed our stay at Distant relatives very much! We extended our stay several times, it was our favourite place to stay during our long trip. The architecture of the whole property makes you feel comfortable and we found it quite inspiring. The team was always friendly and welcoming and we met lovely people and we enjoyed the sunsets at the beach where you can walk down in a few minutes. We really can recommend a stay!!:)
