Loved the robes and disposable flip-flops, a wonderful luxury touch! Very quiet in a beautiful location. Adored every second of our time here gazing across the bay! The only tiny thing I would mention is that we felt that for the standard of everything else the kitchen could be better equipped.

The very faded and rather tired artificial flowers outside the property did not create a great first impression. The apartment was spotlessly clean and generally well appointed although we ended up having to buy additional loo roll and kitchen towel - there were 2 of us and we only use a normal amount of these items. The location was a plus - the view from the apartment was stunning - but also meant that we couldn't really go anywhere without the car. We did walk down into town a few times but the walk back up hlll is not for the faint hearted and we could not always time it with buses! . Some instructions for the whirlpool bath would have been useful - not everyone is familiar with them and we had to call Sykes when the jets repeatedly switched on when there was no water in it. I did ask for the owners to give me a call but they were apparently too busy. We just decided not to use it again. The hot tub was very well maintained but totally surrounded by fence panels - I realise this was probably for privacy reasons but the lack of any view of anything made using it rather boring. I thought it a bit mean spirited to ask us to bring our own tea towels given that we had paid over £1200 for the booking. Sadly we decided to come home 2 days early as we were just not enjoying ourselves.
