Welcoming garden apartment with sea and mountain views 5 minutes walk from beach

Great location

We had seen a couple of less favourable reviews for the property shortly before our stay so were slightly apprehensive. Comments such as the garden being a mess, and the quality of the decor had been mentioned by some guests. I can honestly say we had no real issues. The property has a great location and was just right for our needs. It had fantastic views and was five minutes walk down the 193 steps to the beach. We saw the steps as part of the fun of being there - just be careful when they are wet! We made use of the communal pool too, and were usually the only people sitting by it. It’s close to the property so you can easily bring out drinks or sandwiches to the pool. The garden was perfectly fine and contrary to some previous reviews mosquitos were not an issue as we used the mosquito screens if we wanted the windows open and the very effective aircon if the windows were closed. The shower temp was a bit erratic to control sometimes but not in a way that bothered us. Some previous reviews also mentioned that the decor needed some TLC. We felt it was more that the place has the rustic charm of a traditional holiday home, so we liked the slightly mismatched crockery and vintage furniture, and were unbothered by the odd paint chip. However, if you’re someone who prefers high-end decor and fittings when on holiday then another property might be more to your taste. In summary, we loved it, would book it again, and it’s great for easy-going families.

Nicely equipped and decorated hous with a lovely view and pool. Would definitely recommend staying here as the hosts are really helpful and the quality of the house is great. Make sure you prepare for the steps to the house because they are intense!!

Beautiful apartment in a fantastic location, but it really needs a freshen up and some tlc. Garden was very overgrown and neglected which added to the number of mosquitos… we mistakenly opened the windows when we arrived and then spent the week trying to get rid of them all… not much fun.Inside is similarly tired… sofa had a horrible smell (we had to put a blanket on it), paintwork very tatty and covered in squashed mozzie stains and mattresses very old and uncomfortable. New washing machine and dishwasher were a positive. A shame as if these were fixed it would be an incredible property… hopefully the owners can invest a few ’s and sort things out… until they do I’d steer clear.
