Suites on the rocks
Due to its location on the hillside, accommodation in Seaside, a lifestyle complex, is distributed at several levels, ranging from the hall to the top, up to rocky cliffs below.
During our stay, we stayed in one of the “suites on the rocks”, located above the sea with a view of the rocks. The suite of 30 square meters is decorated in light colors, generally Mediterranean.
The highest point on the rocks is undoubtedly the outdoor area with armchairs, two long chairs and a private swimming pool overlooking the rocks off the coast. The view is particularly magical at sunrise, when the rising sun adds a special touch to the landscape.

We started with a Saké Saké cocktail with Aperol, the alias, followed by a mixed menu, including a selection of sushi, a soba salad, duck potato and sweet kibble and a bun of beef beef. All the entries were delicious, which is not always the case with this type of merger cuisine in the Mediterranean region.
