This was a very unique, beautiful and peaceful place to spend Christmas. We loved it! The apartment was very clean and spacious and appliances, beds etc. were all very nice, and we loved the view from the rooftop patio. The only minor annoyance was that the fold out couch that our son used for a bed was located so that it blocked access to the kitchen when it was folded out. Finding the apartment is not easy, but ended up being a fun introduction to the village. Since the village is tiny, we decided not to try to follow Christa's directions. Instead we just parked and walked around and asked someone and ended up discovering a great restaurant as a result. I don't think there are many places left in the world like Paratallada!
