Ideally situated and comfortable.

An enjoyable stay in a comfortable apartment in an excellent location. Good quality towels and bed linen and plenty of cleaning products supplied. Close to great restaurants serving wide range of cuisine with ten minutes walk to la Duquesa pueblo fishing village or three minutes to the marina restaurants. Any requirements we had were quickly dealt with by Maria. A very enjoyable stay.

Very good apartment in great location.

On check in we were impressed with the decor and the clenliness of the apartment. We found the bed and soft furnishings in the lounge to be very comfortable. All electrical items worked as they should, with the only problem being the wifi disappeared for short periods. Regarding the location, it just could not be better being five minutes walk to the port and being on the ground floor access to the pool. To sum up one would find it very difficult to find fault with this holiday home.

Nice apartment in a great location

We spent 5 nights in Maria's apartment and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We found the apartment clean and tidy and it had all the facilities we needed for our stay. The bed and furniture were all very comfortable and we were able to find a choice of things to watch on the TV on the odd occasion that we used it. The location of the apartment is fantastic, a 2 minute stroll to the beach and the marina, where there is a good selection of bars and some lovely restaurants. We didn't have a car but there was a key for the underground car park had we decided to hire one. The staff in the complex were polite and helpful and the communication from Maria was excellent from start to finish. We loved the resort and hope to come back again. If we do return then we will definitely look to book this apartment again.

Manilva, Porta de la Quesa

We stayed in Porta de la Quesa for 2 months. The apartment was excellent with walkout to the pool deck and view over the sea. Amenities in the complex were wonderful. Everything you would need was within easy walking distance, restaurants, pharmacy, grocery stores, English Butcher, taxi service and local bus. There was a paved promenade along the shore that ran for miles/kilometers and is illuminated so walking in the evening is very safe. A local market is just a 15 minute walk along the promenade in Sabinillas, along with all the restaurants that are along the way. There is a bakery on the main street, a wonderful fresh fish market in the main grocery store and an English book store. Despite the Covid19 inconvenience we had a wonderful time and would return if the opportunity arises. The only problem we had was the contact phone number to get the keys for the apartment was non-functioning. Fortunately we received assistance from a local resident who assisted us in contacting the security staff to let us in.

well appointed apartment in fabulous location

we loved our stay here, the apartment has everything you need, and lovely sea views from the outside seating area. It was very clean and the bed very comfortable. Wifi worked well. Although we had a car, it is very convenient to walk to the port, the Castillo and Sabinillas, so only needed to use the car for further away trips and shopping.The apartments are well managed and have 24 hour friendly staff. Would stay again and recommend to friends and family.

Clean with great location

Probably the best location around in Duquesa, 500 yards from the port and a stone throw away from the beach. Very clean and well equipped apartment, take some plastic cups if you have kids as the floor is marble and you can’t bring class to the pool. We would definitely return again.

Ideal location in nice complex

Clean and spacious. Quite well equipped. We would have liked cool bag to take to the beach and would have liked change of towels/bedding during a ten day stay however, this would not deter us from revisiting or recommending. (I washed towels myself during our stay) Other concern was security locks on doors due to being ground floor level which we considered required attention. Overall nice property and location near to all amenities and the beach.

Vacaciones vacaciones!

Gracias Eugenia por estos días. Has estado atent en todo momento y dispuesta a todo!. Tu apartamento es muy cómodo, bien ubicado, fessco, tranquilo y suficientemente equipado. Las camas son cómodas. El sofá cama donde han dormido los niños se hace en un plis. No hemos utilizado la mesa del salón: el la terraza hemos hecho todas las comidas! La ubicación del apartamento es ideal y nos ha ayudado a estar cómodos. Da la sombra a la hora de comida y desayuno. La Cocina con todo lo necesario. Cerca está el puerto con amplia oferta hostelera (comida asiática, Argentina, italiana...) el pueblo de Sabinillas y Castillo de la Duquesa, con un paseo marítimo para disfrutar largos paseos. La plaza de La Colonia, a 5 minutos, ideal para estar largas jornadas con los niños. Él definitiva, un buen apartamento para disfrutar de unas buenas vacaciones en familia tranquilas y relajadas pero en un lugar accesible a todos los servicios. Gracias, Eugenia.

Lovely apartment

I spent a couple of days with my family during Easter, and we had an amazing time. The apartment is very bright and clean and it is very well equipped for 4 people. It has beautiful views, direct access to the pool and is located in a very familiar and quiet area. It is nearby the beach, the port, and many restaurants. Both owners and workers are very friendly. I highly recommend it, we will be back for sure.
