We’ve just returned from another wonderful stay at this property, and once again it did not disappoint. This wasn’t our first visit — several members of our family have stayed here over the years — and every single stay has been fantastic.For us, it truly feels like a home from home. The attention to detail is excellent and it’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into making guests feel comfortable and well catered for. From the moment we arrive, everything is straightforward and stress-free — secure underground parking, clear key collection details, lift access up to the apartment — and then, as soon as you open the door, you’re greeted by that absolutely stunning view.It was also very kind of the owners to let us know that we could check in earlier on the day. This was incredibly useful for us and felt like a really thoughtful touch — it genuinely made a difference to our stay.The apartment is exceptionally well stocked and incredibly comfortable, making it a relaxing place to spend time. The beds are very comfortable, as are the pillows, and the bedding feels lovely and high quality. Both bathrooms are excellent, with powerful showers that are just what you want after a day out.The location is ideal for us. If you fancy popping out for a drink or a bite to eat, you can walk down the steps and reach several lovely places within around 15 minutes.Although we didn’t make use of the balcony on this visit, it really is something special — with views across the harbour to one side and out to sea beyond. We’re very much hoping to enjoy it next time… and yes, that’s because we’ve already booked our next stay. We think that speaks for itself.
