Response from the owner Hi Nick. I'm sorry you felt you couldn't give us a 5. I appreciate that the pool is small as it shows on the photos. We do not advertise air conditioning and our guests who have questioned it before booking in the past have found it to be unnecessary as we are in an airy elevated position and the apartment is usually cool and comfortable. As you say, you did not miss it when you were there. I would like to point out for any other possible guests that we also provide free standing fans and a ceiling fan in the main bedroom. I will check the water pressure when I am there in a few weeks to see if there has been a problem. Thank you very much for your custom. Paula

“Lovely apartment - everything you could want for a great holiday”

Reviewed 31 Jul 2016

Lovely, spacious apartment which is well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Within approx 20 minutes walk to the beach and marina. Small shop nearby and local supermarkets all close to hand. Secure gated access and private pool (which although small is still quite sufficient for relaxing by as an alternative to the beach).
