We stayed in the apartment which is absolutely fantastic. All interior and furniture made of recycled materials. A masterpiece of sustainable interior design!

Great team at Casa Pau. The room is nicely decorated, with love. Our room had a great balcony at the front side. This place offers filtered water from the tap. 🌱

A really lovely place to stay. It is really quiet and calm and just a short walk to the beach and cafes. The bed was comfortable and the room spacious. We enjoyed the outside terrace area too. The breakfast was simple but fresh. Highly recommend!

Great guesthouse! Everything was decorated with love for detail and we felt very comfortable during our stay. Very clean and good location too. We had the room upstairs which had a balcony from which you can see the ocean.
