Good overnight stop.
Pros:

The room was a great size, with a very large bed which was very comfortable. The room was warm and had good tea and coffee making facilities. The breakfast was varied and well presented. Food was very good.

Great week. Villa has everything you need.
Pros:

Villa Parras is in great central location close to beach, shops, restaurants and bars (about 6 min walk). The Villa is very modern done to a high specification and has a lovely large open-plan layout living/kitchen which is great for socialising and the roof terrace is a fantastic space for sunbathing and enjoying drinks.

Cons:

However, we would have preferred the en-suite to be a separate room, rather than having the toilet and shower within the bedroom itself, as this felt less comfortable and private.

The 10 am check-out time also felt rather early, particularly as the cleaners arrived at 9 am on the day of departure. The fact that the small print states they can access the property from 8 am is disappointing, as it can make guests feel rushed while trying to shower, pack and leave the property. A later check-out time, with cleaners arriving after guests have departed, would make for a much more relaxed and enjoyable end to the stay.

Nettes Hote in zentraler Lage, auch für einen längeren Aufenthalt
Pros:

Zentrale Lage, Frühstücksoptionen, nettes Personal, trotz der Lage an der Hauptstraße ruhig, mein Zimmer ging nach hinten raus.

Cons:

In meinem Zimmer war die Matratze (Federkern) durchgelegen. Habe ich vor Ort gemeldet, soll behoben werden.

Excellent position and a comfy stay.
Pros:

The breakfast was excellent, great choices and freshly cooked to order. Parking was good. The building had a lovely charm, if in need of a little tlc. Excellent spot for being close to amenities. Staff were very pleasant, wasy check in/out. Good amenities within the room, tea/coffee/fridge, etc.

Cons:

Room 7 was ok. The carpet could do with a clean, the bed was comfy but could feel the springs. The curtains were too small for the window. The window itself could do with being double glazed, being on the busy main road it was loud and breezy. The bathroom over the hall was very spacious but could do with an upgrade, the shower was not powerful. Overall the room, in my opinion, was well presented but does not warrant a 4 star.

Pleasant stay , nice food and staff .
Pros:

Lovely staff , good breakfast and excellent location.

Cons:

Room could have been nicer , creaking floorboard every time walked across the room . I think the hotel in general could do with a refresh . Some parts seem a bit run down in places.
