Residence Valentina

Nice, clean place with a good parking area. It's close to the beach, shopping places, and restaurantes.

The only thing missing was Wi-Fi.

For the price, I rate the apartment very well. It has a large terrace, covered parking under the building, beds that don't creak, and it was all beautifully clean and ready. The walk to the beach takes about 10 minutes. Check-in and check-out are at an agency a few streets away, and the whole block lost power twice in two days. Inside, there's one bedroom and a kitchen with a living room, plus a bathroom with a toilet and a fairly large terrace. It's simply furnished, with basic kitchen equipment and utensils, all perfectly clean. There's air conditioning, but it doesn't cool the bedroom effectively, which made hot nights unbearable. The shower cubicle is very small, even for an average-sized person. Street noise comes straight through the single-pane windows, and some nights were very disturbing. The entrance door is thin and weak. There's no washing machine or Wi-Fi, and the TV is very small.

The Spar supermarket is close, so we could do all our shopping without taking the car. Each apartment has its own parking pitch, and ours was great. The air conditioning cooled the place quickly, and we got two sun loungers and a parasol for the beach. Those were the good parts of our six-night stay at Appartamenti Valentina. Check-in had gone quite smoothly, but we wouldn't book it again. For one or two nights, it would be okay. The bed was otherwise comfortable, but it squeaked loudly every time someone moved and woke us up. The bathroom drain smelled unpleasant, and we had to pull the blind down a little by hand before it would close. Mosquitoes swarmed the balcony, so we couldn't leave the doors open. There were no mosquito nets 😅. The kitchen was very sparsely equipped, with no oven, toaster, or coffee maker, among other things. The listing said four people could sleep there. Maybe they could, in theory, but we'd have been on top of each other the whole time 😅.
