This apartment is amazing. Perfect location in the heart of the Pyrenees, good facilities and a short walk into the beautiful town of Panticosa, with its array of very good but not overly expensive restaurants.
The apartment has two large bedrooms and both bathrooms are good. The third sleeping space is a single bed with a pull out underneath and this is in an area adjacent to the top floor bathroom. The beds were fine but the only thing we found was the window onto the balcony could have done with a black out blind.
The living/kitchen/dining area is perfect for self catering with each area flowing into the next. It is a well equipped kitchen too.
The quality of the fittings and furniture is very high and the apartment very comfortable.
The underground garage parking is also a nice addition.
The immediate area is a purpose build new development with a number of apartments. The complex has the benefit of a large swimming pool, which has fabulous views down the valley - we even had para-gliders floating at eye level while we swam. Racket ball can be booked and there is a play area for little ones too. There are a couple of table tennis tables, table football and communal changing and toilet facilities by the pool.
The gardeners/maintenance crew were very friendly although did not speak English. This did not prevent us from communicating and they were helpful. The grounds were immaculate.
Booking was very simple and Gema replied very quickly. She was able to answer some questions while we were there too. The key collection process was easy, even though Yolante could not speak English.
The area is a fantastic playground for the active. Gondola rides up the mountains, walking trails, mountain biking, road cycling, paddle boating and windsurfing on a nearby lake, high ropes - it is all there. Our only issue was that 7 days was not long enough.
The entire area is very Spanish which we loved and there was limited English spoken in some places like the supermarket and bakery and some restaurants. This added to the joy of the holiday.
It is also a shortish drive over the border to France.
We have 10 and 14 year old children and they too thought the apartment was the best place ever!
An excellent holiday!
