Incredibly beautiful cafe with lots of attention to detail... And an unbeatably delicious lime tart... Outside on the balcony, lots of finches fly to the tables looking for the last cake crumbs on the plates. From here you can take a shuttle back to the car park, €5 per person.

Be careful, apparently people sometimes live in the hut. So please don't just try to go in.
