Sitges Beach Panorama

Top ligging, goed contact met verhuurder, heel leuk zicht op zee, goed bed, veel materiaal ter beschikking (ligstoelen, kookgerei, strandlakens…).

Mocht je niet goed te been zijn, er zijn toch aardig wat trappen op het appartement te bereiken.

This was our second stay here and the reason for our revisit was the perfect location - sea view from the balcony, beach within five minutes, really convenient for cafes, restaurants and amenities.

Nothing!

Without doubt the location on the beach front with a great balcony overlooking the promenade and the sea was the best thing about the apartment. The apartment is comfortable and is well kitted out including beach chairs and umbrella, the shower is excellent with great pressure and its as hot as you want ! The apartment is thoroughly cleaned with fresh bedding and towels every Monday. The owners and Manuel are lovely stocking up our fridge on two occasions with wine and beer !

The only criticisms i have is that the bathroom is a bit of a squeeze, though as I’ve said the shower is superb and maybe the African theme in the apartment makes the apartment unnecessarily dark and looks a bit dated and in my opinion the apartment would benefit from being a more modern and lighter look. Having said that none of these small criticisms would stop me rebooking

It was a loved property close to the beach. Compact but homely and welcoming. The bar below was linked to the property and was also very friendly and welcoming

Nothing

This apartment is in a wonderful location right by the beach with a balcony made for people watching. It is sited in an old building on the front which brings character and slight quirkiness to the property, all of which adds to its charm. Our visit was in the heat of July and the apartment coped well. The air con provided a comfortable (but not super cool) temperature and the balcony enjoyed shade for most of the day. Everything we could need was provided for and we were especially grateful for some of the welcome treats provided by the hosts. The apartment comes with beach towels, chair, parasol and woggle and the sea beckons at all times of day. The kitchen has all the basics and we found the bed very comfortable. The bathroom was bijou but manageable and the toiletries were a welcome extra. We used Sitges as a base for visits into Barcelona and Tarragona. The station is only 10 mins away and train travel is cheap. Sitges itself is a lovely resort and the apartment is in a family area, away from some of the livelier beaches and nightlife but with plenty of bars and restaurants close by. Noise was not a disturbance. This is an apartment I would definitely like return to.

There was little to dislike

The location is fantastic! We were so happy there. You feel like you're on a cruise liner as all you can see when you look ahead is the sparkling sea and sky. There is no road between the flat and the sea so no cars. On the ground floor of the building is a cocktail bar - and we were offered a free drink there - the cocktails are amazing! There are many restaurants up and down the promenade and musicians come and play for the customers which was lovely to listen to from our balcony. The old town is a few minutes walk with all its eclectic shops, bars and eateries and the station is about 10 mins walk. There's air-conditioning in the flat and it's very quiet at night with the windows shut and really not too noisy with them open. There is everything you need in the flat to make your stay enjoyable eg a washing machine, hairdryer, drinks were left for us in the fridge including a bottle of bubbly. The flat was extremely clean and cosy.

For us the stairs were fine but there are quite a lot as 3rd floor up so some people may find them a bit difficult. The only other criticism I would make is that the bathroom door would be better hung the other way round as it could be a squeeze getting in for some but you do get used to it and neither of these things were a problem for us.

Only the view. Everything else substandard. Badly in need of serious renovation.

Wifi didn’t work the router was broken, had to connect to a router in another apartment. Shower room…have to squeeze in between the sticking door and oversized vanity unit with slack tap, shower completely useless, couldn’t use it, toilet holder loose. Galley kitchen felt very small with dirty old units, only space for one. All appliances very old and cheap. Small lounge with very old dark furniture with loose laminate strips, only fit for the tip, sage green walls all decorated in dusty early Zulu tourist tat with a huge miserable looking picture above the bed. Bed showed the ruts of those who had slept there over many many years, crossed my mind that some may even have passed away in it. There used to be wall between the lounge area and bedroom which someone had knocked through and made an arch, around which they had pinned this horrible dirty tassel material which only served to hide the holes behind. The balcony gave a nice view but the table hadn’t seen a lick of paint it sealer in years, fit only for the tip and the two chairs weren’t much better. Finally there are 50 badly lit winding stairs to drag your case up before viewing the disaster which is the apartment. This place does not command the price being charged, it’s one and only saving grace is the balcony view which still doesn’t compensate for the rest of the place. This is an honest account and we would never book it again. How others rate it so highly is truly beyond me ? YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! MANEL, the guy who greets you was very nice and very helpful .

Hosts arranged for a taxi to collect us so there was no problem with transport (we paid for it). All the team that runs the apartment were superb especially Nuria. There was a wonderful welcome basket waiting when we arrived. Location is wonderful. We will be going back there definitely.

It is on 3 floor with no lift. That is the only downside.
