Bella Vista Mar

It was a great apartment. Fantastic view. Great furniture….good vibes.

The kitchen could be fine tuned equipment wise. Towels weren’t great.

The apartment is very spacious and quite comfortable. It is also remarkably bright and the view is amazing. The beach is just across the road. There's a bakery two blocks from the building where we could get fresh baguettes or croissants for breakfast.

We sometimes heard the stairs rattling from upstairs (it wasn't too disturbing). One of the double beds in our apartment was creaking a bit. The apartment is on the first floor.

Fantastic position wonderful beach front

Dated furnishings

The view and the location, and the friendly owner.

To start with, we booked the apartment for 9 people on booking.com, 4 adults and 5 children. The picture of the large dining table confirmed our beliefs that the apartment was indeed big enough. Only by chance we spoke with the owner before arrival who was a bit shocked to hear that we wanted to come with 9 people as apparently the apartment is only suitable for 6 people. Fortunately we finally arrived with only 7 people, 3 adults and 4 children. And even this was challenging. For the benefit of future guests I would like to point out some negative points which might have been less negative had they been known before. Also I would hope that maybe the one or the other improvement is done to the apartment, as of today the rather high price is only justified by the location and by nothing else. - Big heavy wooden wardrobe in one bedroom should be fastened to the wall as it tilts forward when the doors are opened. This is quite dangerous if you have small children. - Curtains partially ripped off the rails on living room and one bedroom. - The provided quilt was only half the size compared to the quilt cover. - no shower curtains available even though easy to install, so there was flooding after each shower. - There was no floor sweeping brush available and no vacuum cleaner (fortunately the owner lent us her vacuum cleaner). - No BBQ available despite description on booking.com, also nowhere to place a BBQ. - Some of the cutlery and plates in the kitchen were not cleaned properly, so the first thing we did was to use the dish washer. - Only 1 knife available to spread butter, plus about 10 or more steak knives (totally useless for spreading butter but would have come in handy if there had been a BBQ). - Balcony very narrow but long, so only 2 people can sit facing each other by the table. Any further person would then have to either sit inside or choo-choo train style behind the others.
