Casa Bartolomea

The location is handy for the center, shops, and beach, but Casa Bartolomea 8 was far too small for the price. Getting out of bed put you right in front of the sink, and the bathroom was so tiny only one person could use it at a time. There was no counter space, even in the shower, which had a fixed head. The fridge was small, there were only two glasses, and the kitchen had little equipment. The extractor fan was kept running using a plug. The bathroom had never been used; there were two chairs and a small table in a narrow passage that other people also walked through. I don't recommend it.

The shared terrace has a sea view and a table reserved for the apartment. The studio itself is very small: the bedroom and kitchen are one space, and the sofa turns into a bed. There's no bidet in the bathroom. We stayed for 7 nights as two people. The location is very convenient, with the sea on one side and the town center and shops on the other. There are supermarkets, a pharmacy, grocery stores, and plenty of other shops nearby. If you aren't too fussy, it's decent value and I would stay again.

We spent a week at Casa Bartolomea 11 and found it lovely and clean. It's just a short walk from the sea, town center, and supermarket, with free parking nearby. The porch has a table and chairs, and there's a shared washing machine. Bring your own bed linen and towels, since those aren't provided.

At least the cleaning lady was friendly. Otherwise, there wasn't much warmth, and the apartments are packed close together with a lot of road noise from one of the busiest roads behind them. In B2, our bedroom faced straight onto a pizzeria, and we spent the night swatting mosquitoes off the walls because there were no screens. The shower drain was disgustingly dirty. There was no toilet paper holder or even one shelf, while cobwebs were everywhere. If you know Casa Bartolomea, I'd avoid it. You decide.
