Pros:

Piscina riscaldata, locali moderni e puliti. Ottima posizione per raggiungere a piedi il centro storico, ma in posizione calma, lontano dal rumore. Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo.

Pros:

Dużo udogodnień, w tym lokalizacja, wyposażenie kuchni i łazienki. Osoba dbająca o czystość bardzo się stara. Obsługa i osoba sprzątająca pomocne.

Cons:

Pokój pachniał chlorem i wilgocią. Nie można było zostawić otwartych okien, bo istnieje możliwość włamania. Podczas pobytu w trafiliśmy na uciążliwych gości - kłótnie, wrzucanie ubrań i rzeczy osobistych do basenu, brak sprzątania po sobie we wspólnej kuchni.

Lovely clean area, with comfy beds. Lack of staff on site can make it difficult for a seamless stay.
Pros:

It was clean, with comfortable beds and in a great location.

Cons:

The fact there wasn’t staff on site a lot of the times you may need assistance. The one staff member I talked to wasn’t a great help and made me feel I like shouldn’t have been at the property. I had booked to stay 4 days and I had to switch rooms during my stay (on the last day) and I was told I can’t leave my luggage or have it kept somewhere secure until I check back into my new room, so I had to carry my luggage around for 5/6 hours which affected my last day of the holiday greatly. Also she explained I shouldn’t be here as I used a code to come into the property, which I used throughout my entire stay she explained I shouldn’t have a code. It was very messy on the final day and affected my stay. I got in contact with a male who worked here over text message and he helped me out finally to ensure I could re check back in.

Pros:

Die Anlage ist neuwertig und hat eine gute Lage zum Zentrum.
Der Pool war sehr schön warm.
Das Haus ist ruhig .
Keine Partys, die zum Glück verboten sind.
Die Einrichtung ist modern.
Die Putzmädels sehr nett.

Cons:

Unser Zimmer hatte keinen Kleiderschrank, lediglich ein Miniregal , keine Kleiderbügel, noch nicht mal Kleiderhacken an der Wand.
Für eine Woche Aufenthalt echt eine Herausforderung!
Durch das große Bett, konnte man sich im Zimmer kaum bewegen.
Man fällt direkt beim öffnen der Eingangstür ins Bett.
Zum Glück habe ich einen Balkon mit gebucht und das Wetter war ok, sonst wäre es wirklich schwierig geworden.
Die Handtücher im Bad mussten wir auf eine Art Bambusleiter hängen, was ich nicht hygienisch fand. Die Sprossen waren zum Teil schon schwarz.
Toilettenpapierhalter gab es keinen.
Zu dem schallt die Partymeile schon morgens ab 11 Uhr zur Unterkunft hoch.
Schlafen mit offener Tür nicht möglich.
Ich war schon öfters in Portugal und hatte mit Abstand schon bessere Unterkünfte für das Geld gehabt.
Über 600 Euro im April für die Woche, ohne Verpflegung ist ja nun nicht gerade ein Schnäppchen.

Tolle Lage, großartiger Blick über die Stadt.
Pros:

Das Bett war sehr bequem und die Aussicht vom Balkon großartig. Der Jacuzzi war ein Highlight.

Cons:

Leider war’s nicht ganz so sauber, Schimmel im Bad und recht viele Haare vom vorherigen Mieter.
Aus dem Schlauch der Dusche kam mehr Wasser als aus dem Duschkopf und der Abfluss ist ein Loch im Boden über das ein Gitter gelegt wurde das einfach lose da liegt. Alles nicht weiter schlimm aber halt auch nicht schön.
Der Rest des Zimmers war sauber.

Pros:

Great location, nice pool, clean rooms

Cons:

Bathrooms have no privavy, would have been nice to know before because the photos do not show that some bathrooms are a full glass wall between bed and bathroom space. The jacuzzi is not reachable for most, only for those staying in a specific room. The beds were horrjbly hard and the pillows extremely soft.

Good things and recommendation - 5 nights
Pros:

Living here for 5 days the view from the hot tub was absolute paradise, this place made the holiday 10x better than i expected, the old town and a lot of tourist attractions were within 10 minutes walking distance, the owner of the property was quick to respond everytime we request anything. The swimming pool was well heated since i was using it in evening when weather was a bit windy, Overall i was very happy and pleased with my experience. Me and my partner really enjoyed our time and we thank this property and would highly recommend it

Cons:

Recommendation - Instead of the hanger stand in room 7, it wouldve been better to have a closet/wardrobe of same size with mirror as lack of storage meant we had to adjust a lot of our stuff on the floor, since it was for 5 nights it made things a lit bit difficult, there was a mirror in bathroom but it wasnt good enough to check the outfit. Also an iron in room wouldve been more convenient.

Pros:

Nous avons apprécié son emplacement.

Cons:

Je n’ai pas aimé le fait que le jacuzzi et la salle de sport ne sont plus d’actualité dans la propriété. De plus des travaux de peinture à l’intérieur de l’immeuble se sont déroulés pendant notre séjour le rendant très désagréable.
