Casa Spada by Belsize

Comfortable, good location, beach is in front of the door

It was some local problem with hot water in the last level, not enough air conditioners for the all areas

The house is everything you expect for your vacation in this beautiful bay. It is a traditional and modern storehouse with a direct access to the beach.

Spacious and clean. Fantastic location. A lovely housekeeper always around to help with any queries

This place is stunning. Wow! The views are gorgeous. It exceeded all of our expectations. I would love to live here. The house is a great size, set over 3 floors. There's enough parking for 2 vehicles, if you're careful. From the parking area, there are a few steps down to a side door, which is the 1st floor (or 2nd if you're from the US). On this floor there's a large entrance room with seating, a dining table and chairs, and a treadmill. Next to that is a utility/storage room where the washer and dryer live. Next, there are 2 large bedrooms and a shared, good-sized bathroom. Upstairs, there's a lovely living room that has a sofa bed, TV and a separate bedroom and bathroom. Downstairs there's a well-equipped kitchen, dining room and lovely large living room, so 3 living rooms in total. The best part of this floor is the outdoor experience. The views are breathtakingly beautiful. The owner provided loads of towels for both bathing and additional ones for swimming in the sea. Outside, there were 4 sun loungers, 2 tables, 4 chairs for dining, 2 parasols, and an inflatable stand-up paddle board that we repaired, but it went down again. At night, we walked 3 minutes away to Restaurant Casa del Mare. The food was delicious. It overlooks the beautiful bay. The neighbours were lovely and we wish we'd made a bigger effort to get to know them. We wanted to invite them for dinner one night, but we'd only really got salad and cold meats to offer them. Sorry guys. If this place ever went up for sale, I'd be begging my husband to buy it. Both the interior and exterior are beautiful.

There was nothing that we didn't like about this stunning property. 10/10 and more. If I had to make recommendations, it would be to buy some beautiful outdoor furniture to take it to the next level. New comfortable outdoor sofas and dining tables/seating/and sun beds. Maybe there is additional furniture for outside, but they only provided us with 4 of everything because that is how many people were in our party. If you're a group with more people than 4, maybe ask to make sure there's enough for everyone. Next door to the property is a derelict old house that could be stunning. I think it belongs to the people who own this property. It looks like it has a private front garden that could be utilised. I'd make the property safe and use the garden for a hot tub and additional private dining space. This would make the property great for winter retreats. I'd pay extra to warm the hot tub in the cooler months. Plus, it could be an area to fence in for people with children, as there is nothing to stop children from accessing the sea. One thing to note is that the outdoor area is a throughway, open to anyone wishing to walk on the seafront and up the stairs beside the property. This seems to be the norm in this region and didn't bother us at all.
