Briccole B43

Good value, in a peaceful spot close to the sea. Shops and restaurants are nearby too. 🔝

It's a peaceful place, though the price is on the high side. The apartments are very clean and well cared for, if a little small, and the house and shared-area rules are followed and enforced. The pool isn't heated, so the water can feel cold at first. It's open daily from 9:00 am to 1:30 pm and 3:30 pm to 9:30 pm, with someone always keeping an eye on it when it's closed.

The pool was clean, the beach is close, and the nearby shop has nearly everything, from swim trunks to awning fabric. The complex itself is tidy. Apartment No. 48 has two bedrooms with twin beds pushed together and soft pillows. The kitchen and air conditioning feel dated, the dishes don't match, and the paid Wi-Fi wasn't great either, with a speed of only 3000 Mbps.

Apartment 48 has had a complete renovation since the change of ownership, and it feels as though the owner lives there. The fittings and furnishings are high quality, with a new kitchenette, dishwasher, electric oven and stove, microwave, and all the dishes, pots and cutlery you need. There are two private garden areas with loungers and cushions, plus two bicycles for guests, all included in the price. The apartment also comes with Wi-Fi, a printer, copier and washer-dryer. Mosquito nets cover the windows and balcony doors, and there's a new air conditioner and a flat-screen TV with Wi-Fi for streaming. The whole complex is very well kept and only a short walk from the sea. Shops are close by, including a supermarket with a bakery and butcher, and the beach bar is handy for a drink or something to eat. I was pleasantly surprised and highly recommend staying here.
