We stayed here in June 2016 as a couple in our late 30s with no children for a week. We found our stay peaceful and well located just a few mins walk to beautiful white sand and very clean Maria Pia Beach. There is a large supermarket round the corner a few streets away ie 10 mins walking distance, do not bother with the campsite one across the road, unless its small items as its very small in size so limited and expensive compared to the supermarket where you can get a coffee and a beer! it has this little bar area as you walk in on the left. Supermarket offers the usual stuff but we were impressed with the good selection of fruit and veg, cheese etc and lovely crusty bread rolls to make your lunch. Ask reception for the address. We stayed on the second floor over looking the swimming pool. If you are worried about noise I would recommend overlooking the pool to avoid any street noise which there is very little, we did not notice it, its a quiet road anyway. We thought the staff were lovely and friendly, they are open for a couple of hours in the morning and then in the afternoon. We were happy to let ourselves in on arriving with the key being left on the notice board and saw the reception staff later that day. The grounds are well maintained and have shade from the heat with trees and gorgeous flowers. The pool is large and good for swimming lengths. There are enough sun loungers but bring your towel for comfort. The pool can get busy if kids are around but we always managed to have a swim and were really impressed with how clean it was every day. We LOVED the resident strawberry blonde cat who is looked after by the owners and can be found around the grounds. He is one of the most beautiful and friendly cats I have seen. Great if you love animals and I noticed both adults and children gravitated towards him. It was a delight to see him every day, and I do hope he continues his life with the owners. Our apartment was really clean and spacious, it was cleaned once in our stay with new towels put out and we were very happy with this. We chose the two bedroom apartment that can sleep I believe 6 people, with two on a sofa bed in the living room. We were booked to stay just one week and the second week at a hotel near by but we were so unhappy at the hotel down the road that after two days we came back and asked if we could have an apartment and were thrilled to be able to stay again in our apartment! We had no issue with the shower over flowing or it being small, nor did we get really noisy people upstairs. Yes you can hear chairs being scraped, some muffled voices and people walking around so perhaps getting better sound insulation in the flooring is a suggestion. I have read the critiques and I feel that you have to appreciate what good value, quality the apartment offers and accept that being in a block of apartments you will hear some noise. If there are really loud nosiy people, tell the reception staff to have a word with them. I'm really noise sensitive but I slept well even being heavily pregnant. If any noise is a major concern ask for a top floor ie third floor apartment. We cant wait to return.
