Everything was just perfect. The only negative is that it has no air conditioning. There are fans but it could definitely do with air con. That really is the only negative. Holiday was great. You have to be fit to walk up the 76 steps up to the apartment. It's well worth it when you get there. Definitely would recommend and hope to return.

Lovely apartment, perfectly located for everything you need on your doorstep. Highlight is the amazing large private balcony overlooking the sea. Wifi connection is good and grateful to receive a small welcome pack on arrival. Would definitely recommend.
Read moreI am so pleased to say we had yet another wonderful stay. This was our 3rd stay and it just feels like we are coming home! We just mainly stay at the apartment and just completely relax as I have a disability. But there is so much else to do, plenty of bars & restaurants, the restaurant right at the bottom underneath apartment does great food and there is bluebells above that for snacks and drinks, and a small place just to the left before you go through gates, has a good take away menu and of course, beach activities etc. We just chill and watch the world go by.
