Great apartment with stunning views, quiet kid-friendly pool & Tamariu is the perfect quiet retreat
We stayed here for a week with our baby & 4 year old. The apt. is absolutely perfect for kids given the owner also has young kids. We had everything which made the place a real home from home...travel cot, plastic cups & plates, washing machine with pods, baby seat, bucket & spade etc. Almost everything in the apt. appears to be newly bought from the washing machine to the ironing board which hadn't (and still hadn't on departure) been removed from its packaging. For the adults there is good cooking facilities (hob, oven & micro), a Nespresso machine (pods provided) and a large balcony quiet with lovely vista to enjoy a glass of wine when the little ones are tucked up.
The complex is really nice, cut into a slope. The 20m pool is not immediately over-looked which means you aren't too conscious of the kids making too much noise when there. The shallow end is about 2.5 feet deep meaning our 4 year old could comfortably stand up in it. I would honestly say we were alone at it probably 60% of the time, with at most one or two other groups there in the other times. There is a good mix of nationalities and residents/holiday makers at the complex with everyone being very friendly, Spanish people are probably in the small majority which gives a bit more of an authentic feel.
Timariu village centre with beach is less than a 10 minute walk by foot path from the complex, down hill on the way there and up hill on the way back. The hill is not overly taxing, our 4 year old managed it no problem. The village itself is nothing short of spectacular set as it is on the beach in a natural bay with cliffs to two sides, small boats bobbing in the bay. There are no waves at the beach and the water is very clear with plenty of fish to see (I just wished I had packed my snorkel). When we were there mid-June the beach was not crowded though a little busier with locals on the weekend. The beach backs onto the pedestrian promenade with restaurants. Again this was great for kids in that there were no traffic worries and the 4 year old could run about ahead of us. I counted about 10 restaurants in total catering for all price ranges, we tended to stick to the quieter 3 adjacent the main strip, my favourite Can Tonet you could get a 3 course meal with bread and glass of wine for €17 so great value. Timariu had a lovely atmosphere a little classy though not at all pretentious with no nationality dominating. In short a beautiful, picture postcard scenic get away
