Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers frequently mention the property being 'lovely and clean on arrival' and 'immaculately clean', indicating a high standard of cleanliness that contributes to the overall positive experience.
The property's location is highly praised for its superb sea views and proximity to the beach and coastal path. However, one guest mentioned the steep hill to the beach as a challenge, slightly impacting the perfect score.
Guests describe the apartment as spacious, well-furnished, and comfortable, creating a 'home from home' experience. The high spec interiors and quiet environment contribute to a relaxing stay.
The property is celebrated for its well-equipped kitchen and high-quality cookware. However, there were minor issues with a tumble dryer not working and an unexpected visit from the owner, which suggests room for improvement in maintenance and guest privacy.
While the reviews are overwhelmingly positive, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

Jane
Fabulous apartment with wonderful sea views which we never tired of. Not the weather for sitting on the balcony sadly. Very clean and everything you need for a comfortable stay. Just one suggestion for guests when first arriving. Need to tell people that the actual key collection point for the gate operation is around the corner of the gatepost - not the first key box you see on the front above the intercom!
