Residence Ariston

The beds were a little uncomfortable, and there isn't much room in the shower. The price for what you get is okay, but having to empty the air conditioner container once or twice a day gets in the way of relaxing.

The beds may be a problem if you have back trouble, and the bathroom is in rough shape, with mold and limescale. We also couldn't find a washing machine, and the place has very few basic items: no oven, microwave, kettle, broom, or mop. The lift is tiny, already full with two adults, and the door shuts as soon as a floor button is pressed, even if something is in the way. You have to force it open, so take care. Getting to the sea is more like 100-150 meters than 50, which is impossible for wheelchair users and can be tiring with small children. There is a larger sandy beach on the property with loungers and parasols, but it isn't right by the water. Prices there can reach €28 a day, depending on the row, section, and season. It's fine for a one-off spontaneous booking. The place is usually quiet, and there is plenty of parking. The access road can damage tires because of sharp metal edges. A passenger has to get out to open the gate on arrival, though a careful driver can open it from inside the car when leaving.

There aren't many shops close by, but there's a bakery, fishmonger, newsagent, bar, and pizzeria. It's a nice walk down to the beach. The apartment is spacious, and the area is quiet.

Everything you need is there, and the location is great. Okay.
