On a hill above the village is a well-preserved 30-m-high, 12th-century round tower and the ruins of a Cathedral and oratory dating from the 13th and 8th centuries respectively. The village includes two hotels, a number of pubs and restaurants, a seasonal petrol station, a pier and slipway.

We were very pleased with the cost of the trip, and have spoken to others who couldn’t believe we did the trip for such a good price. The best thing of all was that upon arrival we had no stress, as we always knew we were sorted for the night. Our trip was amazing and we have recommended your site to others. Congratulations and thank you to your whole team for providing such a wonderful holiday experience.

As far as your suggested package was concerned, it suited us perfectly. Before we travelled, we knew what we wanted but didn’t really know how to go about it as we knew little about the cities we wanted to visit, or the hotels which would do the job. My wife just happened upon your website and it really did a great job for us - just enter the cities we wanted to visit and hey, presto! An itinerary! Everywhere we went, the hotels were expecting us and the trip went according to plan. We were happy with the general quality and price of the hotels, and your site was a great help, so we thoroughly enjoyed the break. Thanks!
