apartments in converted house in Nerja, Andalusia - Costa del Sol WhenMay 2001, 10 days ReviewMy wife and I, who have lived in Spain and travel there often, stayed in the coastal town of Nerja (near Malaga) last year during May. We chose Nerja having driven through the town the previous year and liked what we saw. Nerja is a coastal resort town minus the high rise hotels; it's somewhat quieter, has character and is an interesting mix of Spanish and British influences. I suspect there is a higher percentage of full time British residents in Nerja than other coastal towns. We found our apartment (Casa Charlotte) on the internet, and were impressed by its comprehensive web site that offered all the information needed to make a decision. Casa Charlotte is located in Nerja within walking distance to beach, restaurants, shopping, and entertainment. You'll need a car to see the famous Nerja Caves and local villages. Casa Charlotte is a traditional Spanish home converted into 3 apartments (we stayed on the ground floor). It's on a typical Spanish back street among the Spanish residents. It has a more Spanish feel that other parts of the town. Casa Charlotte is newly renovated with everything one needs for a comfortable stay. Lot's of space and quality furnishings. The kitchen is large, and unusually well equipped. The owner has created a really nice rooftop garden and place to sit and enjoy the town from a roof top perspective. Of all of the things that makes Casa Charlotte special, the owner's personal attention sets it apart from a typical apartment arrangement. Frans is Belgian, speaks 4 or 5 languages including English. He meets his guests upon arrival, helps them get settled, answers all their questions, gives a quick tour around the nearby streets. We researched the apartment offerings in Nerja, and there are many. Of the apartments we considered, we chose Casa Charlotte because of its character and value. We had a great time in Nerja and certainly recommend Casa Charlotte. This review is the opinion of a Slow Travel member and not of slowtrav.com. |
