Torrevieja/orihuela Costa Apartment

We were here for a week and could not complain one bit. Absolutely excellent value fo money. Pool was only steps from apartment. Everyone in the complex very friendly and helpful.Overall had a very enjoyable week.

Apartment well presented 15 minute casual walk to supermarket and restaurants.
The cleanliness of the apartment was the only downside.
Whilst bedrooms and bed linen were very clean the kitchen was a greasy mess fat running down oven door, wall tiles streaky as not cleaned well. Windows very dirty (appreciate the area had had the dirty rain a couple of weeks before our visit ) dirty finger marks on doors and kitchen tiles. I hope the the next visitors benefit from the 40 euros we paid on arrival for cleaning when we left, as we did not from the people who left before we arrived.

The property is perfect for families and friends. It is located near to Zenia Boulevar which is a bonus...
Shirley was a very nice and friendly person. :)
We just loved it. Thanks you for everything.

Very nice place, quiet location, big terrace for rest and even good for night sleeping on open air !

We love this little flat. Second stay for us. It is perfect for a totally peaceful lazy break. The pool is fantastic. So clean and well maintained. 3 stars for area as the beach we found was a bit horrible. We don't mind. We don't come for the beach, nightlife or any of that. We come for a complete peaceful rest in a comfy, reasonably priced apartment with a great pool and that's what you get. Oh, that and Shirley who manages the flat. A genuinely lovely, helpful, unobtrusive person. Perfect for strangers in a strange land. We'll be back!

We were returning to Spain visiting friends (having lived in the area for several years previously) and so had local knowledge and realistic expectations about the property and location. Shirley, one of the key holders ( I didn't meet her husband) was efficient, organised, friendly and helpful, and lives on the urbanisation, so a real bonus, especially for guests not familiar with the location. The apartment was as described ( the furnishings appeared to be different however in the photos) although personally I did think it was a little tired and could do with a slight refurb- particularly the the sofa bed which was very old, tatty and uncomfortable to sit on, and there was a mismatch of crockery in the kitchen cupboards. The sunloungers ( nice that 4 were provided) were ripped and frayed and looked like they could collapse any day. Air conditioning would be needed I feel for the high summer, as although we stayed mid September, we did struggle on occasions with keeping cool at night, even with the free standing and ceiling fans provided. On the plus side, there were plenty of towels provided, the U.K. TV system was handy, the apartment block quiet and the balcony a decent size. The location was excellent, near to the pool and a short walking distance from local shops/amenities. I think the apartment was good value for money, compared to others nearby, even taking into account the slight negatives mentioned.

Sorry for the delay. But we have replaced the old sofa with a brand new sofa-bed.
