Torredembarra – Strandleigur

Caroline Bretland

Warm, friendly and helpful host. The location is perfect, stunning views, the relaxing sound of the sea, yet in easy walking distance of train station, supermarkets and several excellent restaurants (I would particularly recommend BG d’Or 2.0, on C/ d’Isaac Peral, it was fantastic, twice!). The apartment itself is a little dated, but that is reflected in the price and it’s character grew on me the longer I stayed. The furniture is clean, modern and comfortable and the Wi-Fi was excellent, never any connection issues with two of us using it frequently. Cleaning products were provided, also shower gel and a few capsules for the coffee machine and tea bags. The kitchen is equipped with a microwave, hob, oven and fridge-freezer, so there is plenty of scope for cooking meals. There is a small but well stocked Spar very nearby for essentials, so you don’t have to carry your heavy stuff too far, and there are several larger supermarkets within about 10 minutes walk. The washing machine is on the roof terrace, so you can do your laundry with spectacular views! There is no lift in the building though, so get used to the stairs… Could make a few minor improvements with the addition of a toaster, kettle, hairdryer or proper wine glasses (though the Babycham type ones did fit with the retro look), but these were not essential to us, so it would not put me off returning, which I would happily do.

This 3-bedroom house with private pool is very well kept, very clean, and very tasteful and comfortable to a high-quality standard. Unlike many other Spanish summer holiday rentals, it’s also very cozy when the nights are colder or the days a bit overcast and you prefer to spend more time indoors (don’t be fooled by the radiators you can see in the property photos - heating is done via four AC units, one in each bedroom and one in the living room), and another big plus is the constant flow of hot water in the shower. The house is located in a nice, quiet neighborhood in Clara, an urbanizacion bordering on Torredembarra proper (it may be livelier in the peak summer season, of course). It’s a few minutes by car to the long, long beach, and a minute or two less to three supermarkets. Isabell, the owner, manages her property from abroad and is very good at keeping in touch with her guests via email and other communication channels before and during their stay; in fact, I have never had such a nice, detailed email from any rental owner only shortly after I had booked the property as I had from Isabelle. Also, her parents live next door so key pick-up/drop-off is an easy thing, and should there be a problem or a question, they are a nice and friendly, multi-lingual first point of contact.
