Casa Titik is a Spanish-style beachside villa tucked away on private property. This family-run accommodation originally began as a cluster of chalets that was run as an inn in the 1960s, which later made way for the current building. While it was originally intended to be a family home, the original owner's grandchildren decided to open it up as a homestay ?
The villa has 10 rooms in varying sizes ranging from standard and deluxe rooms (that are meant for two people), all the way to a King Suite (which can fit six people). The villa has two swimmings pools, a jacuzzi, a dining area. There's a pathway from the property that leads to the beach, where there is also a horse-riding facility (which guests can use at additional cost).
