Karen from United Kingdom – 3 November 2024 (10/10)
Clean , comfortable, everything we needed and more
Hayley from United Kingdom – 17 October 2024 (10/10)
Everything! From the start we had a warm welcome from Barbara! The apartment is beautiful and the private pool and hot tub were stunning. Barbara and her family go above and beyond what is expected and truly make everything magical.
The location is also beautiful. You’re a 15 minute drive away from the Old Town but also check out Lapad and Gruz
The beds are also extremely comfy. Had the best nights sleep.
What could be improved: Nothing. It was a perfect holiday.Ilkka from Finland – 9 October 2024 (10/10)
Very friendly and helpful hostess. Great apartment with pool and barbeque area.
What could be improved: WiFi had some slow moments…Paul from United Kingdom – 13 September 2024 (9/10)
Pool, spa, property location, BBQ room was great and the host was excellent!
What could be improved: NothingFred from United States – 8 August 2024 (9/10)
Barbara was great to work with. She is responsive, organized and friendly. The unit is lovely. We were just two couples so we didn't use all three bedrooms. The family room/kitchen is small for a family using all 3 bedrooms. However, there is plenty of area between the pool, hot tub and BBQ area (Which is a beautiful old room with a nontraditional BBQ) to spread out. If you all want to eat together you would need to do that in the BBQ room which we labeled the "Wine Cellar" because it has that vibe and is beautiful.
What could be improved: We had some issues with the air conditioner which Barbara acted on immediately and brought out a technician the next day. It did need a part replaced which needed to be ordered. It still operated fine, just noisy.
The only real issue we had was with the internet. We didn't bring it to Barbara's attention because we didn't want to appear to be complainers. However, she did recognize the issue (she lives in the same building and was probably having internet issues too) because the day before we left the internet account and sign on changed. We were unaware of the change, unfortunately. Barbara had sent me an email but I didn't see it until we checked out. Only recommendation would be for her to slip a note under the door so the guests know. We don't check our email daily on holiday because we want to relax.
All in all it is a lovely place to stay and Barbara is a wonderful host!Shantel from United Kingdom – 5 June 2024 (9/10)
This property is modern and well located and well equipped. The kitchen has everything you need for a stay. The bbq facilities and exceptional and the laundry facilities are brilliant. The toiletries and cleaning detergents were provided and you didn’t need to get any extra purchases. The host what can I say Barbara is a gem and so is her family they put the icing on the cake. We felt at home and ease and we were hosted really well and managed to have a dinner prepared by them on our last evening.
The hot tub area is a lovely touch and nice outside space to use and so is the terrace were the pool and sun beds are.
The beds are comfortable and we slept very well.
Taxi to old town around between €6 to €10 if there’s traffic. Uber is very cheap and reliable.
Parking – we were able to access car parking easily.
The host was available throughout and responds promptly even during the booking process. I look forward to returning and recommending friends and family to visit.

Josh from United Kingdom – 25 July 2023 (9/10)
Barbara the host was lovely and showed us all of the places to go! Apartment was clean and spacious, private pool was great. Barbara even helped us print off our boarding passes which was a lovely gesture. Recommend sunset beach and the surrounding bars and restaurants.
What could be improved: The only downfall is that the wifi wasn’t good.
