Laura Las Flores

The double bed is comfortable. There is only one wardrobe shared between both bedrooms. 8 hangers are provided. The bunk beds are a metre off the ground and so are not suitable for young children. The private swimming pool is shared with the other apartments at the property. The views looking down on the town and the rock from the terrace are lovely. The BBQ is spectacular but remember to get some fire-lighters and charcoal.

We had a good holiday at Laura Las Flores because we made it so but the apartment had many disappointments. The property is divided into 3 apartments; typically in this area the owner lives on one floor and lets the other floor(s) out for holiday rentals. While we were there the owner was not in residence. The first problem was that there is no instruction book at the property. Without the owner being there we could not order breakfast or a welcome pack of food. The only refreshments at the property were a litre of water, a packet of biscuits and some coffee beans. The coffee machine is modern and easy to use – if you know how to use it. When we arrived the used coffee grounds needed emptying and the water tray was overflowing; I downloaded the pdf instructions but they are 60 pages long – a big read before coffee is available. There is no kettle available and the coffee machine only provides a trickle of hot water. There is no toaster and I did not bother with combined microwave and grill (ie the oven). The dishwasher does not work – the soap dispenser door is broken so that the tablet is washed out before the wash cycle begins. The washing machine is hidden at the end of the garden underneath the swimming pool and is shared with the other apartments - if they can find it. The bath is not in use because the waste pipe is blocked. The hand basin emptied slowly and so probably will soon be blocked. A plunger is provided to help with blocked drains. The shower is very small; a quarter circle of about 70 cm radius – a large person would not be able to shower in it. The TV only receives Spanish language stations and the satellite dish does not work. The wi-fi was OK until there was a storm - it took 2 days for the owner to get it turned off and on again. The nearest restaurants and the shops are a taxi ride away – unless you have a car and are prepared to drive on the streets. The taxi fare was between €8 and €16 and so it costs around €20 before ordering any food. T

It had everything we needed, lovely views, very quiet, so peaceful, shared pool with one other apartment but that was empty most of our stay so we had our own private pool, plenty of space, air conditioning in the main living area, excellent price, all in all was a perfect holiday

Some air conditioning or a fan in the bedroom would of been ideal. As it got quite muggy at night time. Would of liked to have a toaster, as I prefer to have a piece of toast in the morning (but it weren’t a huge issue) Would of liked to have a long mirror in bedroom as us woman like to see what we are wearing
