Birthday family break

This 4 night break was to celebrate ( belatedly ) my 75th birthday. All my family including children, grandchildren, one great grandchild and husbands and wives, 20 in all, were able to join my wife and me at this wonderful property. All families had their own bedroom with en suite shower and toilet facilities. All rooms had air conditioning and were incredibly clean and well looked after. There are nine really good sized rooms and our family configuration meant that we only used 8 of them. There is a good sized kitchen with everything you could ask for including two large fridge freezers and another in the games room that has a pool table and exercise machine. There are several large eating areas with more than ample seating and large tables. The pool is of a good sized and was also cleaned on one of the days we were there. I could go on but it would just be repeating how wonderful my family found this property. Last but by know means last was our wonderful host Sergio. He will go out of his way to help you in any way possible and arranged for massages on site that were so good we asked her back on another day to complete another 3. Sergio also arranged for us to visit two restaurants within walking distance, and both were great and considering the short notice and size of the party too. Sergio also arranged all our transport needs, which were many. I can't recommend Sergio and his property highly enough. Thank you again Sergio.

Family of 6 and a baby

Very helpful host even taking us to the local supermarket and calling taxis for us as they were difficult to get. The one thing needed was the property could do with a bit of a clean but pool was lovely and nice quiet area. Nice cafes and restaurants nearby. We had a very nice holiday and would come again.

A lovely place to stay!

We stayed at this property for a week and had a great time. It is a short distance from the airport and the local supermarket is only a 15 minute walk away which made our stay much easier. The property itself was clean and contained everything we needed. The pool was a big plus and we spent a lot of our time relaxing by it. Our host was helpful and dealt with any queries without delay. We would definitely come to stay again!
