What stood out about Canella? The beautiful, peaceful location and the views. The bedrooms were located so everyone had space for our adult family. Everything was well thought through with shade and authentic features The outdoor kitchen was easy to access and use, and we enjoyed eating and cooking at home. The sea access was our favourite part. It was very special - perfect for our family as we loved the rocky access, snorkelling and swimming round to the beach.
