We stayed at this apartment with two young children and it was perfect in every way. The apartment was exceptionally well presented and clean and in a brilliant spot within the complex. Views over the pool and down the hillside to the sea were stunning both day and night and the complex was very peaceful. Alan was a fantastic host, responding to all queries and questions we had quickly and with helpful ideas. The apartment was cleaned after a week of being there, which was a really great touch! We hired a car as had two small children with us, and the walk up the hill would have been a bit long without it. Was great to have as could park within the old town and also visit all the beautiful surrounding beaches. There was ample parking in the complex, all of which felt very secure. A super place to visit as a family and the pool was perfect for both small and older children - we will definitely book again! |

The apartment and complex are quiet and well maintained, exactly what we were looking for in a holiday. The complex is lovely, with a quiet pool area, no need to get up early to reserve a sun bed. 10-15 minute walk into the old town, with loads of restaurants and bars. There is a very steep hill down to the town or beach so make sure you take some sensible shoes. Favourite bar was 'Steps' bar which played live music each night and had a welcoming atmosphere. Have been to the same apartment 2 years in row, and we usually make a point of never going to the same place twice so that tells you how much we enjoyed our break. |
