Private Island Setting
This one-bedroom apartment sits on a private island, reached by a 200-metre walk from the car park to a floating bridge. The route includes about 60 steps and a steep, narrow path down to the shoreline. Guests should have a good sense of balance and plan to take only minimum luggage and food supplies.
