We are a group of 4 ladies that stayed in Toarmina for 4 nights in September 2016. The location of Le Grand Blue is perfect. Beautiful view and Cable Car to the beach right across the street. The apartment is spacious and accommodated out group well. We understood that we would not able to check in until 4:00 pm but we found that made our first day very difficult as we had been flying on 3 different flights for over 24 hours. We were able to leave our luggage in a garage below the apartment and returned to check in at 4:00. We initially had difficulty with the air conditioning but it was resolved the following morning. We tried to wash clothes but found that the washing machine didn't work like US machines. I should have asked for instructions. One thing we suggested is that a book with instructions on everything be provided for guests. Every time we contacted the number provided, someone responded. Thank you Maurizio and family for wonderful memories.
