“Large comfortable apartment near the sea”

We enjoyed staying in our spacious and bright two-bedroom modern apartment near the sea. The high ceilings, the large windows and the white walls ensured an airy, holiday feeling. The overall design and the restrained decoration reinforced that feeling. It was very definitely chilly in the apartment when we checked-in in early April, but the large air-conditioners provided enough heat to warm up gradually the essential rooms of the apartment. Fortunately, after checking us into the apartment, Lucia returned with a very large warm quilt, and that did much to make our initial 24-hours thoroughly comfortable. The apartment is satisfactorily equipped. The appliances including the washing machine worked properly. The WiFi worked well. Given that the cold water is very very cold, the temperature setting of the (new) hot water heater is too low, certainly too low to permit two short showers at this time of year. Whether the current setting would be sufficient for a large family in July is not at all clear. The apartment is properly supplied with respect to crockery, cutlery, towels, bedding, etc. We were the only ones using the large parking area of the building so parking was, of course, no problem. The process of checking-in is fairly complex because no one works or lives on-site and because neither the building nor the apartment is distinctly identified. The managers of the building might like to introduce the use of key lock-boxes: that system, widely used it Italy and elsewhere, might greatly facilitate the process of checking-in and checking-out. In any event Lucia was friendly and helpful.
