Hi all,

My wife and I are also staying at the Little Prince Apartments in June.  I know Jimbo has been helpful with apartment selection etc, but are there any apartments to avoid?  We like a high floor, are there apartments on the ground floor?

Jimbo:
All the UK apartments are on the first floor overlooking the street. The ground floor is totally restaurant and bar. There are two-room apartments at each end (101 and 109) and seven studio apartments in between.

Because the block is on a hillside the first floor is also the pool level - so it's easy to go to the pool without climbing stairs.

First floor is actually reasonably high - at least twenty feet - so you will not feel that you're at street level. Everything's quite big - rooms, balconies - so you won't feel cramped. You won't get much or any sun on the studio balconies, but that means it's pleasantly cool if the weather's hot. If you have a two-room apartment, 109 gets morning sun and 101 gets evening sun.

Around 8am if you're having a cuppa on the balcony you'll hear the clip-clop of the horses going down to the beach for their morning bathe. You will also catch the delicious smell of fresh bread from the bakery and feel obliged to make the whole two-minute walk to buy something for breakfast. In my experience it's usually blokes who get the morning bread and cakes whilst the princesses lounge on their beds in a semi-comatose state dreaming of boiled eggs, toast and Danish pastries.

LP is the most popular place to eat in Ag Stef. You may feel strangely guilty if you go somewhere else and are spotted by the eagle eyes of Pippina, Dimitris or Mixalis. The secret is to walk along by the pool and go down the outside stairs. Done it lots of times.

Anyway - if it wasn't for the fun of LP (and all other nice things) we wouldn't have come to think of Ag Stef as a kind of second home. You'll have a good time. Promise.

Jimbo,

That was so well put, that I thought I was there.  Thanks for the information, really appreciated.  As you are aware, we have been to San Stef (I will always call it that) a good few times now but have not stayed at the Little Prince Apartments.  However we have dined there plenty, well recommended.  Sorry to be a pain Jimbo but do the balconies face the pool or the main road?  Getting a bit excited now for my hols!

Who's Mixalis Jimbo? sounds like a rabbits disease!!
