The 3 of us had a fantastic week in Aina's apartment. The place was immaculate when we arrived and is nice and simply decorated (dishwasher and big fridge/freezer were a bonus, plus comfy, clean beds and a great shower). I was so pleased with our choice. The view is wonderful and we enjoyed breakfast on the balcony every morning catching the warm April sunshine and watching the world go by. The lounge was great for relaxing in the evening. The pool, although cold was lovely and clean and I braved it a few times as we were so lucky with the sunny weather.
I was slightly nervous to be a little out of the centre when deciding where to stay but I liked the idea of the view and a pool. This actually worked out really well as we wanted to hire bikes with our 8 year old and try some cycling everyday. This was the perfect excuse! There is a cycle path by the road all along the seafront (we used the wide pavement closer to town) so it felt very safe to cycle with kids. Walking to restaurants in the evening was also fun and there are two very nice places just nearby within 5 minutes walk. I guess it takes a leisurely 20 minutes to walk along the beachfront and reach the famous Pine Walk. There are plenty of bars and restaurants along the way, plus just 10 minutes to the local well stocked Spar Supermarket. There did seem to be a regular bus service too, but we didn't use it.
It was a lovely quiet spot at this time of year. The sea is just across the road and it's only a 5-10minute walk to the very long sandy stretch of the beach.
We hired a car from the airport and there was ample parking right by the apartments and a place to lock your bikes. It was nice to do a bit of sight seeing over the mountains on the days we wanted to explore further afield, but you don't necessarily need a car.
It's a fantastic area and we really loved it all. We'd definitely like to come back.
The booking was all very straight forward and Aina was very helpful with all my enquiries.
I would highly recommend the apartment and location. It is one of the nicest holidays we've had!
