Monte Sea View Residence with terrace

The property was charming in a rustic way. I liked the location at the top of the hill though sometimes found the stairs going down into town challenging. A younger or more nimble person my age (70) probably wouldn’t feel that way, and the apartment’s location is what attracted me to begin with. The view from the terrace was beautiful. The bedrooms were both spacious. Lots of various different sizes of plates, bowls, glassware, and silverware in the kitchen. Good dishwasher and standard Stovetop. Ivan picked us up from the car park and took us to the apartment as advertised. He was very friendly and this is a really great service given the location of the apartment. I can’t imagine staying at the apartment without that service! Thank you, Ivan.

I somehow missed that there was no real seating anywhere in the house. The metal folding chairs around the kitchen table were extremely uncomfortable and there was a canvas director’s chair in one bedroom and a wooden one in another. If we had stayed for a few nights and been out all day and night, it might have been ok but we stayed 6 nights. The stairs were very steep going both upstairs from the kitchen and down from the kitchen into the bathroom. Both my husband and I had to be extremely cautious on them. Again, maybe a function of our ages but a consideration for some at both ends of the age spectrum. There was a comfortable sofa like structure on the terrace but because it rained several days while we were there we were only able to sit on it a few times. It seemed like the cushions inside and out could be due for a refresh. The owners clearly love their apartment and I want to be balanced in weighing how much of our concerns might be age related versus shortcomings of the apartment but for us, not having a comfortable place to sit while eating and relaxing was an issue and one we should have noticed the absence of such from the photographs. That is on us.

Manager was great

If you have issues with stairs this is not your place

Good style, good AC, perfect location, nice host, super view

It would be nice to be able to have curtains in the lower room.

Location is on the highest point in town..a steep walk so not good for people with mobility issues. The house has 3 floors & the stairs are quite steep so have to be careful & again not suitable for people with mobility issues. Comfortable beds and washing machine is a plus.

Steep stairs in the house & the lighting in bathroom is not good. The seagulls are scary…we tried eating on the balcony one night & almost got attacked by a menacing seagull.

Very stylish and good design, different areas with different qualities

The deck, amazing location with incredible view, lovely building with interesting detail right next to the church.

We had not been warned about the bells ringing at 7:30am, but once you know that is the normal practice it is pretty charming. Low ceiling piece when you are coming in from the deck can be dangerous for bumping your head, so look out for that. Otherwise everything was great.

Nespresso coffee machine worked about half the time. Otherwise, all good.
