I admit that when I first saw on the internet that<br />

there was an Italian restaurant here, that’s what<br />

drew me to this place, and I wasn’t wrong! But<br />

their talents don’t stop there, they’re also extremely<br />

gifted designers. When Carlo showed us to<br />

our bungalow I could hardly believe it, it was far<br />

from being a basic cabin. It was actually a luxury<br />

two-storey living space with palm branches for a<br />

roof, a low wall surround and the rest completely<br />

open to the elements, except for mosquito nets.<br />

The bed was on the upper floor, with a view of<br />

the lagoon. The whole thing was built of natural<br />

local wood and stone. You get a magical feeling,<br />

as if you’re sleeping amongst the stars. The next<br />

morning I discovered we also had an uninterrupted<br />

view of the sunrise, and I absolutely loved it; I<br />

didn’t even have to get out of bed to see it! It was<br />

amazing to discover this idyllic spot. A beach that<br />

stretches as far as the eye can see, a heavenly<br />

lagoon and barely a soul here, even in August! It<br />

was hard to imagine that just a few days before<br />

I was on a packed beach in Montpellier, fighting<br />

for a space to inflate my kite. The best time for<br />

kitesurfing is when the tide is going out and the<br />

lagoon gives way to a host of small sandbanks<br />

and super-flat mini lagoons.
