The apartment was nothing like the pictures listed on the web page as it turns out. Maria had previously contacted us to say that there had been an agency overbooking & offered alternative accommodation at the same address. It would appear that that the apartment was not regularly used for Air B n B accommodation. Having said that, we found the apartment very comfortable with an entertaining Bohemian feel about it.

Maria was very kind & told us to make ourselves at home & to feel free to make use of all the other communal guest facilities. The kitchen was large & well equipped while the garden with pool was a true oasis in the middle of Alero old town.

The town it self is a real delight with plenty of social life in the central square & regular festivities throughout the year. The selection of bars & restaurants is excellent & the people warm & welcoming.
