I stayed here with young family (ages 2,4 and 6) for 10 days in August. It was absolutely perfect.
The apartment was really lovely inside. The decor was fab and it was immaculate inside and out, including the pool area. it had absolutely everything we needed plus more. The games, dvds and Nintendo Wii were perfect for helping entertain the little ones when it go too hot and in the evening. There was also loads of stuff to use for the beach including umbrellas, snorkels, buckets, loungers etc.
The location was tranquil and peaceful. Just what we wanted. Had a real traditional Italian village feel. There was a small cafe bar 30 seconds away for fresh coffee and crossiants, plus a small mini market too. There was also THE BEST pizza takeaway 2 mins walk away. We ate here loads as really was amazing. There was also a van selling fruit, veg and wine by the litre at the end of the main road. This was great!
2 mins in the car and you were in Budoni which had everything you would expect from a seaside town, including a lovely night market, shops, cafes restaurants.
Rachel provided an information sheet before our arrival with loads of info about the area with recommendation of where to eat, supermarkets etc. This was very useful. We really enjoyed some of the local restaurants and buying fresh pasta from the shop in Budoni (Rachel- the mint and ricotta WAS amazing!)
We travelled to a few different beaches in the area but we concluded the best one was the closest to the apartment in Budoni. Loads of parking and 0.50 per hour or 3 euro all day. It really was stunning.
I would highly recommend this as a place to stay. It really was lovely and we had a truly fantastic time.
