My husband and I stayed in the Garden Cottage at Casa Madden for nine nights. We found it very well equiped and tastefully decorated. The garden is beautifully maintained and tranquil - just what we needed for a complete rest. There is a lovely view from the balcony over the sand dunes to the sea. Jane is most welcoming and helpful and we enjoyed meeting her dad, Tony. The time passed all too quickly.
