Some minor issues with key collection and maintenance are noted, but overall, guests report a very enjoyable stay.
Most guests found the property to be spotless and very clean, with particular mention of the well-maintained flat. However, a few reviews noted issues with cleanliness in specific areas such as the balcony, on-suite floor, and lampshades, slightly lowering the score.
The location is consistently lauded for its quiet setting, proximity to the beach, and walking distance to town. The views are described as incredible, contributing to a high score for location.
Guests report that the property is quiet, comfortable, and well-equipped, with comfortable beds and a spacious living area. The mention of a small third bedroom and a small kitchen suggests a slight deduction, but overall comfort is rated highly.
The facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen, modern bathrooms, and a heated pool, are appreciated by guests. However, there are comments about the need for a key box at the property, issues with mobile phone reception, and a broken water heater, indicating room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches in the reviews provided, so it is not possible to assess this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.

C&C sent out a workman who was unable to fix the problem so we relied on the immersion heater which was fine, better than waiting in for a plumber

Provided everything we needed for our holiday. The apartment was very clean and tidy and all fittings and appliances are very good quality. The swimming pool, gardens, parking and EV Charging make the apartment a brilliant package. I have, though, a constructive suggestion regarding EV Charging: the bays could be marked as EV Charging and it would be better if you could activate use of the chargers in the week before arrival to save time sending emails during your holiday. Overall an excellent apartment. (in fact we have already booked again for next year)
