There were issues….
…..not least of which was hosts’ demands for extra money for electricity, swipe cards and wrist bands. Fortunately VRBO sorted and stopped it. The apartment is ok, not great but ok. The paintwork and tiling inside is very good but it’s furniture and equipment, particularly the outside furniture (exception being dining table/chairs) is cheap, threadbare and stained; the rattans are all disintegrating, the cushions dire. Amongst a mishmash of kitchen stuff, there is only one stemmed wineglass, no cloths or tea towels etc and no microwave or smoke alarms. Ditto the beds, really cheap uncomfortable mattresses and rough sheets. There are bigger issues; the complex (which is not well maintained with tattered awnings swinging from too many empty properties) is adjoined by 3 others, the closest of which blasts non-stop thumping rapping music 9.30am to past 11.30pm at night…. despite the fact that you are required to abide by a list of rules which include not playing loud music!!! There are no restaurants, cafes or shops in walking distance at all and certainly not in the complex; the nearest restaurant is over 2 miles away and the nearest supermarket is 4miles away, there are no buses and few taxi’s. Pizzo is a €20 cab fare each way. There are 2 good pools BUT BOTH CLOSE BETWEEN 1pm AND 3.15pm!!!. The beach is shingle and at least a 20min walk, not accessible by car! Going in and out of the sea is a perilously serious steep gravel incline, definitely unsafe for children or over 50’s
