This beautiful high ceilinged apartment opening onto the courtyard garden and pool is as lovely as it is portrayed in the pictures. It is just fabulous, so nicely done, so spacious and airy, such a lovely mix of old and new. I wish I owned this beautiful house myself!
The house is divided into 4/5 separate apartments. We stayed in the one on the ground floor that opens onto the garden/ pool area, absolutely perfect for our needs with our 8 and 6 year old kids. They loved exploring the nooks and crannys and splashing in the pool and often asked that we postpone a trip elsewhere to just have a "hanging around" day.
The kitchen and sitting room pictured are in fact shared areas and we had a separate fridge and large dining table in our own apartment and another large table outside in the courtyard. In most instances we ate outside in fact and used the BBQ s in the evening. The kitchen was extremely well equipped, well beyond the standard that you would expect in a normal holiday setting and the chess board in the sitting room and the other board games were a hit with my kids. Having Netflix on the tv in the apartment was another major plus for the kids in the evening when tired.
The apartment is literally around the corner from the town square, with its lovely bakery and market with wonderful fresh local produce on a Saturday, and lots of restaurants.
Alaro itself was lovely, a really authentic village atmosphere, 100% the polar opposite of the tourist strips. We loved it.
Maria was an excellent hostess, friendly, informative but not too in your face. We wanted for nothing honestly.
If you enjoy a bohemian arty atmosphere then this apartment is a must. We would have no hesitation recommending it.
