Lovely quality accommodation with view of the sea. Unusual problem in that bathroom toilet was initially unavailable but the owner arranged for an emergency plumber to attend twice to resolve this during our stay. This was greatly appreciated & did not have an effect on our overall holiday experience.

Upon arrival the apartment looked lovely. However there were a few issues with both bathrooms which meant we left 2 days early. Generally the place was fine but needs a little TLC to make it a lovely place to stay.

Lovely location. Excellent views. Nice decor. Well equipped kitchen. Downsides: downstairs rooms smelt musty, not helped by extractor fan not working in bathroom. The standard of cleaning let's an otherwise lovely property down
