Excellent base

Lovely stay and Lucy met us on arrival. We received a beautiful basket of essential foods. This was very much appreciated. Check it out before you go shopping as there is a lot essentials. Great supply of toiletries, including very nice shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. Lots of household cleaning products also supplied. House is small but adequate. Bedroom is a reasonably good size. Bed comfortable with lovely linens but a bit squeaky! Bathroom good size too. Small garden with some sunshine but with plenty of light. Nice garden chairs, table and umbrella. Perfect for eating breakfast or having a meal and drink in evening. BBQ also supplied, although we never used it. The property is very near the marina and lots of excellent restaurants. We were able to walk to the ferries, which take you to the Islands in under 15mins. All in all a very central property near local supermarket. Very reasonably priced.

Pequena e harmoniosa

Gostamos muito da casa. Pequena de facto, mas muito acolhedora, mobilada com gosto, muito limpa, com todas as comodidades. O páteo faz a diferença. Muito bom! Para duas pessoas e para férias é suficiente.

Terrible

The apartment had a leak coming from the kitchen that flooded the flat and the shower also leaked. The bed is the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever slept on. I had to buy painkillers to get through the agony! It’s hard as a rock. The outside patio is nice but it gets no sun so you can’t relax and hang out there. Too expensive for what it was. Stayed in much better, would avoid.
