Located in Burnham Overy Staithe, Norfolk, Picarini is a charming mid-terrace cottage that comfortably accommodates up to six guests across three well-appointed bedrooms. Nestled in one of North Norfolk's picturesque coastal villages, this stylish retreat offers stunning sea views, particularly from the master bedroom, and is conveniently situated just a two-minute stroll from the harbor. Here, visitors can indulge in various water activities, including swimming, fishing, and kayaking, while the nearby Scolt Head Island, accessible by boat or a scenic walk at low tide, promises a sense of isolation and tranquility akin to a desert island escape.
