Sylvie was an absolutely fantastic host, and her apartment was incredibly beautiful! My boyfriend and I loved the area; it was so relaxing to be in the midst of the lush, green mountainside, with the beach and clear sea just a short walk away. Literally everything you could possibly need including restaurants, shops, supermarkets, the bus stop, the beach!!, and even a weekend "fair" with rides and food tents, was within a ten minute walk away! The beach is just beautiful here, it was calm and warm but very refreshing. There are rows and rows of lounge chairs set up on the beach that cost about $7 for all day usage (you can leave and come back throughout the day for this one fee) that we enjoyed immensely! If you're looking for relaxation, this is it! Sylvie, as a hostess, was magnificent! She left a bottle of cava for us as well as a tasty snack of pate and crackers upon our arrival! She made us feel completely welcome, and even had us over for sangria and tapas (some of the most delicious tapas we had on our entire trip!) on our last night which was such a delightful way to end our perfect trip! She is truly a marvelous conversationalist and we were very fortunate to spend this evening with her! Her son, Oliver, is also as charming as can be! Everything from the massive terrace, to the huge, luxurious bathroom, down to the gorgeous rugs on the floor, was exceptional and very well-thought out! The bed was so insanely comfortable, and contributed to some of the best nights of sleep I've had in ages! Coming back to the apartment after a day of beach and sun, to relax on the terrace, cava in hand, with the sunset and mountain breeze will remain some of my most treasured memories! Jupiter, Venus and the Big Dipper could all be seen from the terrace at nightfall which was an exciting surprise, as well! We highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a magical place to stay in Santa Ponsa!
