Located at 52 Carrer del Pintor Joan Massanet 2, it’s a short stroll from Mar d’en Manassa Beach (about 0.3 km) and Port d’en Perris Beach (about 0.4 km), so you can plan swim breaks without long drives. The apartment is also a good fit for pet owners and families, since children are allowed and pets are permitted, though there is no on-site parking.

With a guest rating of 7.7/10 from just a few reviews, expectations should be modest but positive: reviewers have pointed to the comfortable, home-like setup and the ease of staying connected thanks to free wired internet and internet access. The non-smoking policy throughout helps keep the space fresh, which matters if you’re traveling with kids or sensitive to smells.
