If you donât have a car this is the place for you, bus station close by 2 supermarkets just 5 minutes walk away restaurants 5 to 10 minutes walk. You can see the sea from the roof terrace which is just at the end of the road. If you do have a car there is plenty of parking just outside the door. This is the second time we have stayed at this property and if we return would try to book Margaritas apartment again.
Property was excellent and El Cottilio is a nice place
The only downside for me was the restaurants every one sells much the same menu not a lot of variety
But the apartment was 10 out of 10
The apartment was clean and tidy had all you needed for self catering. Wifi good large TV Netflix & prime video donât forget your login details. To be honest we spent most of our time on the roof terrace which has sun and shade all day. Thank you Margarita we enjoyed our stay.
If you enjoy peace and quiet, delicious food, reading and relaxation then El Cotillo is the place for you. This small village does not have the obvious charm and prettiness of many other European destinations such as the Greek islands and could easily be overlooked. However, stay a little while and absorb the sunshine on the lagoon beaches that stretch for miles and you will most likely be hooked. As people who like to see different places my husband and I first visited El Cotillo in September 2012. We liked it so much that since then we have visited 4 times in the past year.
This is the 3rd apartment that we have rented through Owners direct. The apartment is new, modern, clean, tastefully decorated and the double bed is very comfortable. The upstairs terrace is a great feature and a lovely place watch the sun go down over a glass of wine.
The booking process was relatively easy with the owner getting back to me very promptly with bank details to pay the deposit. Please beware that as the owner lives in Spain you will incur bank charges to make an international transaction online. If you pay the deposit and then later make the final payment, you will incur these charges twice. The cost to make the payment was ?20, but this will depend upon your bank and how quickly you want to transfer the money.
Given the newness of the property there are a number of things that could be improved to make your stay more comfortable. Firstly, we had been given no directions as to how to find the property. I had a good idea from the photographs of where I thought it was, but arriving late after a delayed flight made things a little difficult. Not all local people speak English and even the owner of the bar in the next street was unsure of the address! We would have welcomed some basic essential items such as a bottle of water and milk to at least be able to make a cup of tea after such a long day of travelling. Similarly there was no salt, pepper, tea bags, cooking oil or basic items provided. Also missing from the property was a kettle, so we spent the whole week boiling water in a pan. There was a limited number of cooking knives and only one of them was sharp enough to use for cooking. I did e mail the owner after our trip and she was grateful for the feedback and said she would rectify this. We had a broken shower too which the owner's brother in law who lives downstairs was able to fix for us.
All in all, I would recommend this apartment.
Super schöner sauberer Ort um Urlaub in El Cotillo zu machen. Wir haben es sehr geliebt. Die Terrasse lÀdt ein um dort zu verweilen und auf die wunderbaren Berge zu schauen. Kommen wieder
Schöne Ferienwohnung, ganz in der NĂ€he vom Meer. Etwas schade war, dass wir fĂŒr 14 Tage lediglich ein Dusch- und Handtuch pro Person hatten. Auch nur ein Geschirrtuch. Leider kein direkter Blick zum Meer.
Have stayed before and the apartment is as perfect this time as previously
Great views, comfortable beds and spotless
I very much hope to return some day
Margarita is an excellent host, easy check in and fast response
Lovely to spend time here again with my family
This is a fabulous property with all you need and central to all amenities whilst totally peaceful and secure. Views to the mountains and the sea where you can watch the amazing sunsets.
This is our 3rd visit and Margarita is an excellent host
Slight problem with the microwave and it was replaced immediately after contacting Margarita. Very good service
Can't wait to go back â€ïžâ€ïž
Super Kontakt mit der Vermieterin, die sehr engagiert ist. Wohnung ist sehr schön und sauber und gut eingerichtet. Die eigene groĂe Terrasse ist super. Super Aufenthalt. Ein Mietwagen ist aber zu empfehlen. Auch der Strand von El Cotillo ist einige Minuten zu FuĂ entfernt vom Ort.
Great appartment with roof terrasse, close to beaches and restaurant
Very nice appartment . We have been staying for the 2nd time. We were for a week with 4 people. Everything you need is available for a comfortable stay. The roof terrasse is great! The location in El Cotillo, close to the surf beaches and restaurants is very convenient. We will come back!
Love this apartment our 2nd stay. Everything you need for a self catering holiday, the owner margarita is easy to contact and very helpful. Basically can't wait to stay again. Muchas gracias Margarita
