  • Michael

    The apartment was very good nice and clean and all we needed the patio left a little to be desired was quite shabby needs a bit of a clean up

  • Jayna

    There was no privacy as the workmen could see into the kitchen and lounge. The garden was locked off, and we booked this with the main criteria being a garden with having dogs. Overall a holiday from hell. With little to no support from the owner and no support whatsoever from Sykes. Will never book again.

  • Donna

    Stuff was broken but maintenance came out once we reported it. Lovely decorated place but needs something doing with front of property & pation area is not pretty but views are lovely
