The island’s name is a relic of a dark past, when infectious diseases were hard to control. Back in those days individuals were quarantined on this island (hence its name) in order to prevent the infection from spreading among the population. Fortunately those days are over and this charming property is ready to be the source of many happy new memories for its new owners.
