Chateau Belomonte

Lots of space, well equipped kitchen and bathroom. Lovely views. Fabulous location, walking distance to all local attractions, shops, restaurants.

The bathroom needed a clean.

Very good location.

Mattresses were really uncomfortable. Both rooms were on the road and although not lots of traffic all the time was quite noisy (that it woke you up) No air con / fans. The apartment looks more dated than the pictures show. The twin bedroom was very small (struggled to open wardrobe) Quite a lot of mould on bathroom ceiling. Lift didn’t work (and as on 3rd floor) so something to keep in mind if you are older.

The apartment we stayed in is on the first floor. Other apartments are referred to in reviews that are on higher floors in the building. It is in the old town and a perfect location for the main attractions, shops and restaurants, as many reviewers have said. There is a good size kitchen with a table to seat 4, which was fine for meals. The living room is also spacious and comortable. There are two double bedrooms, one with an en suite, with toilet, sink and shower. There is a separate larger bathroom, for use of the occupants of the second bedroom, with the same facilities. Overall, we were happy with the accomodation, subject to our comments below.

Unfortunately, we had one major issue and that related to the en suite shower. When we arrived we found that one door of the shower was missing and the other door was loose, in fact it came off the runners and nearly fell on one of our group. This meant that the shower could not be used as if you tried to do so it soaked the floor which then had to be mopped. We informed the owners and someone came to remove the remaining door but unfortunately the doors were not replaced while we were there. The advice was to share the shower in the bathroom but we were two couples who specifically wanted separate bathroom facilities and booked because that is what was offered. We only hope that the owners have now replaced the shower doors so others do not have this problem. Worth checking in advance. We have subsequently seen a review, dated 12 April, so over a month before our stay, that stated that the door to the en suite shower was missing, so it seems this was known for some time. If we had not had this issue we would have given a higher mark.

It was central and easy to get to whatever you wanted. Waterfront, restaurants and coffeehouses

No atmosphere at all!! Not one picture in the walls. It was just beds, not even two bed tables and lamps in one of the rooms. The feeling; no one cared, just rent it out. But nevertheless, clean!
