XVIII Century Gem With Magnificent Views Of The Harbour with a private garage

We had a great stay here and would highly recommend we appreciated the historic building its location and the sea views. The description is good and everything was as expected. Communication was easy and Dominique who met us was very hospitable.

Beautiful apartment with the most beautiful light reflected from the water; it’s lovely to watch the tide go in and out and see the boats arriving and leaving and the ferries come and go. The sitting room is comfortable to spend time in. The kitchen is very small so we didn’t use it much except the coffee machine (it is very well equipped for its size). The shower is good and we used the washing machine which was handy. Our son’s twin bed room was perfect for him; our room, upstairs, was atmospheric but we did both bump our heads multiple times on the beams all week! The garage is a 10 minute walk from the apartment in an underground car park. The overhead sign says 2m but unfortunately it doesn’t take account of the slope down, which naturally reduces the clearance by at least 2” and meant our VW van didn’t fit at all. We parked at a free car park some distance away and used the garage for our bikes. If you have a small car you’ll have no problems, if you have a van or a roof box you will struggle. Check in took a while, the agent was tied up with another client and sent someone else, so we waited an hour longer than advertised, and then by the time we went back and for to the garage etc it was a good two hours out of our day to get settled in. After that we had a great stay.

We had a wonderful week in the apartment location is superb

To be right on the beautiful harbour of St Martin was a dream, as was to spend the week in such a historic building. By standing at the windows we could enjoy wonderful views of the busy little harbour and of the sea. The nearby very secure garage was a real plus. We left our car there safely for the whole week. Although we only had dealings with her on arrival and departure, the property concierge, Brigitte, was kind and helpful. The kitchen area was functional but too small for the preparation of elaborate meals, which was a shame given the excellent nearby indoor market where wonderful fresh produce was abundant. We ended up eating out more than we had intended. Likewise the bathroom and shower area was small and not conducive to relaxed showering after a day out on the bikes. There was always plentiful hot water, Although the property was right in the heart of things, we were never bothered by noise. There was just a happy buzz which constantly gave us the holiday feel. That and the masts of boats sailing just meters away from the windows!!
