Santa Barbara Holidays

We highly recommend this spot! It's an amazing little gem that offers a truly unique experience. The hotel owner has painstakingly rebuilt the entire neighborhood block; the area is so charming and perfect it honestly looks like you've walked onto a movie set. Plus, the hostess gave us an amazing dinner recommendation only a two-minute walk away. Don't hesitate—book your stay

This was such a lovely apartment. Very new, spacious and modern. Amazing air conditioning that kept us cool even in the middle of a heat wave. The location is great. An easy walk to the historic center. I think the property is even nicer than the photos. Highly recommend.

Lovely quiet pool. Great access to the beach (28 euros for 2 beds and parasol) We booked the suite which was very spacious and comfortable although it’s a bit like room Austin Powers would like. Decorated in very dark colours and the huge round bed swallows you. Nice staff. Free bikes which are great as you are 30 minute walk from the centre and there’s not much around the hotel in the evening.

Arrival through beautiful tall wood doors, but have to swing wide to get round them in the car - you can’t see what’s coming until you commit to the turn. Drive lined with lovely terracotta pot lamps which were lit at night, signpost directing you to reception isn’t lit - would be helpful if you arrived at night. Warm welcome by receptionist who also showed us round and to our room. Had booked a mezzanine room which was lovely. Bathroom was on the ground floor, the stairs were quite steep, and hubby’s arthritis was playing up. Also difficult if you need the bathroom during the night as room became very dark. Hubby ended up sleeping in the lounge area for safety for the first night. Spoke to Francesco in reception the next morning and he kindly sourced us a fully ground floor room “we want to keep our guests happy!” The rooms are decorated in keeping with the Moroccan style, but are tired and in need of renovation, particularly the terracotta floor tiles which are badly damaged and gouged and are an accident waiting to happen - also in reception area. Wardrobe was dusty. Pool is large and spacious, surrounded by palms, cleaned each day. Site is open to day guests and it was very hot so can become crowded. Luckily we had sussed out the better sunbed re shade and got there early; beds got, no seating position. Pool towels provided. Pool bar nice. Had lunch in restaurant - nice choice. WiFi poor connectivity. Good location though.
