Great apartment very well situated. Close to shops, local bars & restaurants and short walk to the beautiful beach. Made very welcome by host Marian. Best feature - large terrace gets the sun all day long.
Check in was excellent. Marian waited for us to arrive and gave us a tour of the apartment which exceeded our expectations. She also provided a welcome pack which was much appreciated. Apartment is so central to everything, shops, Restaurants, bus station, supermarkets and a 5 minute walk to the beach. Such a comfortable apartment with a huge private balcony that got the sun all day.Marian is a fantastic host. She answered all our questions and communication was excellent. We will definitely be back. Xxx
In over 30 years of renting holiday apartments around the world, this is the only one I have returned to, which speaks volumes. Sure, it could do with a lick of paint here and there and a new television, but it in location A, close to bars cafes, supermarkets and anything else you may need. If I ever go back to Caleta de Fuste, I would try and book here again.
This apartment was lovely and spacious, The wrap around terrace was big for sun or shade,The owner was lovely and helpful, Only one negative was the shower head you couldn't adjust it maybe a new bracket and head would be good.

Thank you very much. I`m very happy you had spend a nice holidays at home. I hope to see you again soon.
Kindly - Marian
Great location.Overall , we had a pleasant stay.Spacious, great top floor terrace.Good washing machine and dishwasher.We enjoyed our stay, however,. Bedding and towels need renewing. needs new pillows. Only 2 sun beds for 4 people. Kitchen cupboards need to be arranged and New Crockery
We stayed here 11-11-23 to 25-11-23. We found the property to be in an excellent location, bars restaurants and beach all within a few minutes walk. The property benefited from having a large terrace with plenty of sunshine from 9.30 in the morning till late afternoon. The apartment was fully equipped with everything you needed to make it home from home. Only 1 negative no access to U K TV but at the end of the day we were on holiday. Will definitely book again.
What an absolute pleasure to meet owner and husband on arrival. We were shown around and given gifts before we spent the next 2 weeks enjoying one of our best relaxing holidays ever. Perfectly situated with shops, restaurants, taxis, buses, car rental and the sea front all within a very short walk. We embraced our surroundings with the knowledge of being guests living within the local community and even made new friends. Accommodation was ideal clean & well maintained with the added icing on the cake ‘air con’. We rate our holiday high on our priority list to return again. Just superb 😊
Situated in the heart of Caleta. A short stroll to all amenities. Fabulous location. Apartment has all you need for a relaxing stay. Outside terrace gets the sun most of the day and the shaded area was a bonus to help keep cool. The property is tastefully furnished and very comfortable. Advertised with air con, and it has, but only one unit in the living room which was a little disappointing. However with all other doors closed apart from the bedroom it did cool it down to enable you to sleep. Patio outside in the evening perfect for a nightcap. Our host Marian was a delight and so welcoming. I would recommend. Thank you
We wanted privacy and a comfortable relaxing break and we got just that.
The apartment is bang in the center, which means you hear the music from the bars when sat outside in the evening, but close the doors when inside and there's no noise at all. This didn't affect our stay however and we sat outside every evening
There's load's of bars and restaurants near by but it's worth exploring the area for the nicer ones.
Marian was thorough with everything and the contact before we left was better than we have ever experienced. She was there too meet us and went through all the information that we needed
We had a later flight and she was kind enough to accommodate a later check out, which was greatly appreciated
The apartment itself has everything that you could possibly need, including dishwasher and washing machine. The bed was comfortable and we slept very well.
It was spotlessly clean to a standard that you don't always get even in more expensive accommodation.
I couldn't fault anything and hope that we will return again in the future - it is a hidden gem
Thank you Marian
A nice flat in a great location.
Great terrace with sun all day,but shaded seating area.Comfortable bed,good shower,plenty of linen/towels and well equipt kitchen.Could do with new Smart TV.
Great location as literaly minutes from everything needed [supermarket,bars,shops,bus,taxi etc].
Marian an excellent host as speaks good English and French,communicated well and very professional.
Downside was neighbours dogs.Property opposite had four dogs,left outside six days a week and barking constantly from 8.30am to 9.00pm ,all day,every day.
Neighbouring block had two yappy dogs left outside on an upstairs terrace,close to the bedrooms.Constant yapping/barking nearly every night any time betweem 7.00pm and midnight.
To summarise a nice flat in a great location.Ideal providing your happy with noise from dogs.I had booked for five weeks but left after three and a half because of the dogs.

Feedback on our stay
The person was polite and pleasant when we met she showed us around the flat. Unfortunately as the day/week went on and we took a closer look the flat was run down and dirty sheetspillows sunbeds towels were atrocious dirty and old We did not experience a full shower one day of our holiday it would start of warm then get cold the second person using it had no hot water at all, although when we complained Marion says "it happens" and she was getting a new boiler this made a small difference but not good enough. My husband lost his hearing aid and we lifted the cushion from the sofa it was full of crumbs and added to the anxiety I felt for a wk. I went home unwell and not refreshed at all My concern is who is writing her reviews? as it certainly did not say anything about the issues above. The small time we spent in the flat there was dogs barking all the time. Money and a wk waisted. Really should be something done about the conditions

Needs some TLC
The apartment was a good size and location but could do with some modernisation. The beds were not very comfortable and the bedding very old and worn (baubly sheets are my worst nightmare) and had the feel that everything left from a house clearance had been put into this apartment..
Amazing property, lovely rooms, fully equipped kitchen and great patio
Best apartment of many we've stayed in. Has absolutely everything you need, is homely has brilliant patio stretching all round property for all day sunshine and great furniture for eating breakfast or evening meal outside as well as sunbathing if you just want to stay in. Had many lovely breakfasts and evening meals on the bbq. Supermarkets etc just around the corner and beach 5 min walk away. Loved our stay, Marian is a great host, will definitely stay again!
Stayed here for a week at short notice, Marion was quick to reply to any questions we had leading up to our holiday, talked us through everything when we arrived. Apartment was as described with great wrap around balcony getting the sun for 90% of the day. Central location and so close to all the bars, restaurants and supermarkets, 5 mins to the beach too. I would highly recommend this Apartment and will return very soon
Fantastic apartment in a great location. The apartment is very well equipped, the outside space is fantastic as it gets the sun all day. The furniture on the balcony is very good quality and sunbbeds very comfortable. We hope to stay here again in the future
Marian was there to meet us and show us around the apartment , which is in a very central location close to numerous bars and restaurants,but still very private and there is no noise indoors to stop you from sleeping. The apartment has a terrace which wraps round three sides of the building where you can catch the sun from early morning till it sets in the evening. This was our 5th visit to Caleta and we will certainly stay at Marians apartment again
Absolutely stunning huge apartment with a full wrap around balcony catching the sun all day long, wouldn't hesitate to book again. Marian the owner was so welcoming & explained everything. Thank you Marian for our welcome gift & hope to visit again soon.
