Cutomer reviews from guests at Casa Noria

Review submitted by Paul from Casa Noria, Ibiza (Submitted: 20/09/2006)

"Great location and facilities, very well presented. The only quibbles were with the arrival info: no map, just convoluted text instructions. There are cards with a perfectly good map (ideal for showing a taxi driver) inside the villa. It was also unclear whether we first had to collect the key from the PIM Office (by telephoning Beryl at PIM we discovered we did not), so better to just say "keys will be hanging on the hook..." Would also dispute the note that "car hire is essential". The property is in a suburban location with shops, taxis & buses all within 10 minutes walk. We were not informed of the maid's visit either, which could have been quite embarrassing... Regarding the actual property, the beds were short (we are both 6'2) and our feet were hanging over the edge. This is difficult to remedy as the beds are built up from the floor with concrete/tiles. Having 2x single mattresses and 2x coverlets, and no headboard (just impractically positioned framed pictures where you'd normally rest your head) was also uncomfortable. The drains for the bathroom do not appear to have been laid properly (no suction breaks) as they gurgle a lot and are quite noisy. The steps into the pool are a little hazardous due to their curved nosing, and the fact that the last step is still around 1.3m above the bottom of the pool. I am relatively young agile & fit, and nearly came a cropper the first time I went in! Apart from the above, the decor, furnishing, views, garden and numerous sun terraces were outstanding, so on balance, we would be delighted to return, particularly if at least the "master bed" was extended a little."

"We stayed at Casa Noria 5th -14th July 06. The house is excellently located an easy 25 mins from the airport and 15 mins to Eivissa. Ideal for us as we wanted to do a bit of partying and a bit of relaxing and it was close enough to be convenient for the clubs and far enough away not to get too tempted! Locally Cala Llonga is a nice family orientated resort and the beach of Sol den Sera is beautiful with a fabulous restaurant. The Santa Eularia area of Ibiza is lovely and for the more adventurous there are loads of little tiny coves and beaches to find along with loads of wonderful restaurants (try and find El Bigotte at Cala Malletta where a guy goes and fishes in the early hours then cooks his catch in a huge fish and potato stew followed by a paella esque rice soup. We had to go and book a couple of days before we wanted to eat there as they don't have a phone and it is very popular now. The house itself is in a great spot with amazing views and is set in a very peaceful pine forest area. It has a lovely living space both inside and out with lots of different terraces to accommodate all your requirements and moods... we watched the sun come up from the top terrace a couple of times. It is very spacious for a two bed house with two big living rooms and a large well equipped kitchen. The pool is lovely and was almost bath warm in the evenings from the days sun. The beds are comfortable and the house on a whole is traditionally decorated with a nice Spanish feel, there are a few slightly dodgy pieces of artwork but hey everyone has their own taste! The owners seem to have thought of everything and there were games and cards, pens and paper etc there was even a box of insect repellent candles which came in very handy! There was a handy little welcome pack with the basics in when we got there which was a godsend as we arrived in the middle of the night. All in all I have no complaints and would wholeheartedly recommend this accommodation to anyone. We will certainly consider it again. This is the second time we have booked a villa through Intimate Ibiza and once again they have been brilliant, everything went smoothly and the villa was as described, in fact if anything undersold.

"A nice place that has everything basic you need. A bit close to other houses so not so private. Its a 15min walk to a few shops, restaurants and the beach. But if you want good nightlife you need to rent a car because is nothing close by. I recomend villarenters and will be using them again for other holidays."
