Central Location in a great Spanish Village
Review Submitted: July 24, 2009
Date of Stay: July 2009
L'Ampolla is a beautiful Spanish fishing village, which has an abundance of restaurants serving freshly caught fish to pizza. The week we booked 16-23 July, there was lots going on, a fiesta and a parade. The beaches were beautiful, a choice between pebbly or sandy, with plenty of coves for exploring.
However, with regards to the apartment, we were dissapointed to find on arrival that it was less than 25m from the main train line, despite being advertised as within easy location of the station, we hadn't realised it would be so close.
This apartment does not have a balcony, unfortunate if you like to sit outside with a glass of wine, it is also very compact! It advertises that it is suitable for 5, however it was a bit crowded with that amount of people.There was a garage to the property but this was not part of the rental agreement, but would have been of great help, as the only parking was street side, and on occasion we had to park some distance from the apartment.
The air conditioning did not work, although, there were 2 fans which helped to reduce the temperature in the apartment.
The letting agent was very friendly and helpful.
Owner's Response: Many thanks for this review Steve.. As mentioned, L'Ampolla is indeed a lovely holiday location with lots to offer.
We do how-ever feel that we should respond to the comments on the accommdation. The apartment is exactly as advertised.
It does in fact sleep a possible 6 people, but as it is indeed a modern compact apartment,(50sq.m as written in the particulars), we limit occupancy to 5, with the comfort of our renters in mind.
As the train line runs parallel to the sea through the village, all of the sea-front apartments are within fairly close proximity to the rail line.
The apartment does indeed have a balcony, but unfortunately it is too small for sitting out.
There is a block of 4 garages beneath the accommodation, but none of them are currently available for this unit. Thus not advertised.
There are air-conditioning units in the accommodation, but this has unfortunately never worked efficiently since the block was built. For that reason, we do not advertise the flat as having air-conditioning, but we do supply fans in every room for the comfort of our guests.
Never-the-less, we are always happy to receive constructive comment and continually strive to improve our service. We shall be contacting Steve shortly regarding his request to re-book later this year.
