Already Missing our Home from Home!
Review Submitted: October 14, 2008
Date of Stay: October 2008
This was our first holiday abroad without our tent, so for us, this appartment was the hight of luxury! Having said that, I don't think anyone could find fault with it. Although compact, the apartment had everything we needed, from a washing machine and iron, (we like to travel light) a delightful patio for leisurely lunches, to extremely comfortable beds. All appliances were modern and in good working order, and the appartment was clean and well maintained.
San Jose is very easy to find your way around. The plaza is only a 2-3 minute walk away, as is the beach. There are many resturants and cafe's in San Jose, most of then geared towards tourism. Our favourites were the bars that were frequented by the locals, were the beer and tapas were good value and delicious!
The local bus to and from Almeria runs a good service and is excellent value for a day out in Almeria. We enjoy walking and found plenty of things of interest to us within a few miles walking distance. However, if you like traveling further afield to visit other points of interest nearby, or you do not enjoy a good walk, then hiring a car would be advisable.
We had a wonderful holiday, and our only complaint would be that it was woefully short. Even the weather which after three glorious days turned unusually wet, windy and somewhat dismal could not spoil our holiday. We would love to come again, hopefully soon!
