Disappointed with the apartment and the communication with the owners.
Disappointed with the apartment and the communication with the owners.
First, we found the ad misleading due to the photos. The first picture is of the pool house, so we thought the apartment is in that building. Imagine our surprise when we found that it’s actually an apartment block with a dozen neighbours, all sharing the space that was supposed to be tranquil and private.
The ad also said the apartment has two terraces, which further added to the confusion. It doesn’t, it has two balconies.
They call it very silent. It was surrounded by construction sites, the people downstairs were making noise, and the neighbourhood dogs were barking non stop.
The ad lists amenities which are either not there or not working. First, they advertise the property as child-friendly, which it isn’t. Carrying a baby and the pram up and down the narrow staircase is hard without a lift, but you cannot let small children take the stairs on their own either, because the railings have big gaps and children might fall all the way down. One of the balconies in the apartment has the same issue so it couldn’t be used. The ad says cupboards have child locks but they don’t. Instead, our toddler soon discovered tools and hazardous chemicals in the bottom drawers in the living room. She was also able to reach the buttons of the gas stove. The ad mentions games for children, but one of the game boxes had a vibrant community of insects in it. Therefore I cannot think of anything at all about this apartment that would be particularly child-friendly.
Of other missing things I could mention the extinguisher, the blender and the dishes for children. The grill doesn’t work, and the first-aid kit that was supposed to be there is very limited. The coating on the frying pans is so scratched that it would not be healthy to use them for cooking. There were no hand towels and some of the bath towels were tiny. And this would be funny if it wasn’t so tragic: when we asked the owners where the bikes are, they said we can go rent some!
We had booked and paid the apartment for two weeks, and over the course of the days exchanged messages with the owners. We clearly explained that we want a discount because 1. the ad was misleading, 2. there were health and safety concerns and 3. the amenities were missing. First the owners gave evasive replies, just wishing us sunshine and getting stuck on the smallest details. When we repeated our request, they stopped responding. So they took our money and ran away with it.

Mee en tegenvallers
Mee en tegenvallers
Wij waren met een gezin van 5 personen, drie kinderen tussen de 11 en 16 jaar. Bij aankomst waren we aangenaam verrast door de buitenkant van het geheel. Een groot mooi wit pand en een keurig onderhouden mooie grote tuin met veel gras. Het zwembad was wel erg klein. Het is eigenlijk dompelen en niet zwemmen.
Het appartement heeft twee balkons waarvan er 1 bruikbaar is om met twee personen te zitten. Bij aankomst was het erg muf en stonk het. We hebben meerdere dagen alle deuren en ramen open gehad.
Het appartement is riant en heeft voldoende ruimte maar de bedden zijn erg krap. Het tweepersoonsbed is 140 smal en je slaapt onder oude vieze dekens. Op de eenpersoonsbedden lagen ook dekens en er was 1 dekbed maar dan zonder hoeslaken.
Uitzicht is er feitelijk nauwelijks. Meerdere rolluiken zijn vastgeschroefd alleen vanaf het balkon kan je de Laguna zien.
Het appartement maakt gebruik van gas uit gasflessen die op het balkon staan. Halverwege de vakantie moesten we de flessen wisselen omdat het gas op was.
Let op bij aankomst dat je eerst alles aanschakelt.
De WiFi aanzetten maar ook de waakvlam van het gas.
De Laguna is ongeveer 15 minuten lopen bergafwaarts. Het zeestrand iets langer. Houd bij het lopen in de omgeving rekening met de forse hoogte verschillen, voor minder valide mensen is deze omgeving zeker niet geschikt.
Voor wat oudere kinderen is er in de omgeving niets te doen, houd hier rekening mee. Maar de zee en het strand maken veel goed.
Een bakkertje en een kleine mercato liggen op 5 minuten lopen in het dorp.
Een rustige omgeving met uitzondering van de honden uit de buurt. Dit zijn er veel en ze blaffen veel en langdurig. Ramen dus dichthouden in de nacht.
Het prijsniveau in de omgeving is zonder meer prettig te noemen. Zowel terrasje als uit eten gaan is zeker goedkoper dan in Nederland en prima van kwaliteit.

Large apartment, furnished with everything you need during your holiday. Great landscaping. Parking on the grounds and a nice but small swimming pool. Short walk to town, laguna and beaches. Owners not nearby, so no personal communication or interaction with the owners
