Really Lovely Apartment

Apartment was clean and very comfortable, sofa bed in the lounge was really nice because it was as good as a bed. Towels were soft, lovely and big. Washing machine and tumble dryer were a bonus as was the outside space, with such stunning views it was a joy to be able to sit outside in the privacy of a huge balcony. Carol was an excellent host, good communication and very nice to deal with. Josie, the lady that collects and drops you off at the airport is an absolute joy and very knowledgeable about the area. I really didn’t want to leave and hope to go back soon.

Wonderful location for late season break.

We enjoyed our stay at 408 Arcadia, Both Worlds and found the property clean and equipped with all the necessary amenities for a self catering stay. Having stayed at Both Worlds (another apartment) previously, we were already familiar with the general amenities available and how to get to and from Sandy Bay. The frequent bus service and relatively cheap taxis make trips into town and other tourist areas easy. The only difficulty was returning on a night when the lights along the stairs and passageway to the apartment failed to come on, but this appeared to be attended to by workmen the following day. This didn’t really detract from an otherwise really enjoyable holiday.

Homely apartment with lovely terrace and stunning views

We stayed at this apartment for 1 week with our 2 young children. Travel cot provided for our 18 month old and plenty of blankets, sheets and towels available which reduced what we had to take from home. The apartment is a great size and made a lovely home for the week. Terrace was great, the best terrace I have seen in both worlds, and there is a gate also which gave me peace of mind when the children were playing outside. Beach is a few steps away and is gorgeous. I really appreciated all of the small things around the apartment such as toiletries, tea, coffee, buckets and spades, etc, they came in very useful and meant we had less to pack/buy once we arrived in Gibraltar. Carol was also very helpful and easy to contact with any queries we had. We really enjoyed our stay and we look forward to returning in the future.

For sea views over a lovely beach it doesn't get better than this. The apartment was well equipped, clean and comfortable. We were met at the airport and driven to and from the building. Only a tiny niggle in that there was no food for the first breakfast and the nearest shop was a bus journey away. But waking up to the sound of waves braking over a beach made up for it.

Dolphins!

A real home from home: another great week. The icing on the cake this time was the amount of dolphins we saw going past the bay. Because of the fantastic outlook you couldn't miss them. Thanks again!

Home from Home with added relaxation

Right from the very first contact, the communication with Carol the owner was excellent, it set the bar for the whole experience. The butterflies we had whilst waiting to hear if the booking was accepted were akin to buying a house, the joy when it's accepted is just the same, we had set our hearts on the most beautiful beachfront property in Gibraltar and we where delighted when it was confirmed. The apartment was right on the beach, away from the road, which is not busy as its the eastern coastal road (Sandy Bay, the quieter side of the island). It had 2 unique features not found in many of the apartments at Both Worlds, one an extra gate for security and a side patio, with awning, sun and dining area and up steps to a Mediterranean garden, Inc garden shed (nice British touch and useful too). Upon entering you go straight into the morning room/kitchen, it's not massive but it doesn't need to be, it has everything that you have at home, and more.....coffee press, corkscrew and fridge (2 of them - you'll be glad that there are 2 of them) eye level cooker, it's bijoux and it works. The lounge with sofa bed has many cupboards with even more useful stuff in, plus a larger TV than the bedroom Inc Sky TV, DVD player & radio, again more than enough. A normal sized bathroom, not a tiny one shoehorned in as an afterthought is next, even with a bath, but use the shower as it puts the power in shower, excellent for blasting sand off yourself after a day lounging on the beach. A well appointed bedroom, with TV and UK channels, wardrobe, bedside tables both sides with plug sockets (ideal for mobile charging), dresser with many drawers. Outside is the best, the end of terrace terrace is brilliant, perfect for watching the boats in the bay, perfect for sunbathing (not overlooked), perfect for lighting the barbecue and watching the sun go down and the moon come up. A bus ride into Gib main, the #4 or the #8, plus handy for the nightbus too, the #8a (it terminates at Black Strap Cove a short walk from Both Worlds). In addition to central Gib, there is also a short walk away (10-15 mins) Catalan Bay village, this has another beach, a couple of restaurants and a 4 star hotel. There is no better holiday than one at Both Worlds, but there is no better apartment than this one at Both Worlds. It'd a credit to Carol and you will love it, I know we did. Andy,

Fantastic apartment in a great area

We were met at the airport and taken to the apartment , it was lovely and clean and had all the mod cons and more . The apartment is only a 10 minute bus journey to the Main Street , which run regularly until late and bus service is very cheap . The beach the apartment is on stayed quiet it was perfect for relaxing and the views are amazing . We will more then likely be staying here again and would recommend to any one .

Great location

The apartment has a great location being right on the beach.You can just walk down a few steps and you are there.We were in Gibraltar the first week of September and the beach had hardly anybody on it most of the time so plenty of room. The owner is friendly and responsive,and Josie who lives local picked us up and dropped us of at the airport at the beginning and end of holiday,this was a great service for those new to Gibraltar. A bus that runs about 3 x per hour stops just outside the apartment and is cheap and a great way to get around.(£2.25 all day all round Gib).For those new to Gibraltar there is plenty to do,with the Rock, tunnels, the beach and many places to eat. The flat is as shown in the pictures and the large side terrace is great to sit and sip a drink or just look out to sea at the ships and dolphins.Most apartments do not have this and as this is a end apartment it is very private.At other apartments people need to walk through their small terrace to get to the beach or their apartment. I would recommend this apartment if you want a quiet place to stay with a swim outside your door.For more action just get the bus to town.(1 mile) Nick, Wendy

Pleasant quiet location

The property was accurately described and so exactly matched our expectations. It was well equipped. The property was well located for an excellent beach and was very easy to travel into town. We were well informed and looked after. We would have no hesitation in recommending this property. For us it gave us a good location to visit all the sites of Gibraltar.

wonderful house.

I have not expected the house is such nice, as the cheap prices. However, once i arrived, everything is perfect. The sea is right below the house. You will find everything you need in the house, not only some essential product, but also some little stuff(e.g. candles, lighter, telescope...). The house owner is very nice as well.All in all, i think it is much better than hotel, and worth to choose.

Everything you need

Thanks for looking after us so well. Lots of great personal touches in the very well equipped apartment. And what an outlook from the balcony. We personally loved the quieter location. Isolated? Not with a bus stop (and Catalan Bay) minutes away. Besides, we enjoyed the walk into town: mid twenties in October, bliss. We'd go back again in a heartbeat. Cheers Carol and to Josie as well.

Best apartment in the complex

I already knew the location is good as I've stayed here before, but I was very pleased with this particular apartment; it's the only one (as far as I'm aware) that has a lovely big private terrace area as well as the balcony. This is great for relaxing in the sun & eating outdoors. Everything required for a holiday is provided in the apartment & the good quality wifi was particularly useful. The bed is comfortable & everything was nice & clean. I spent a lot of time relaxing on the terrace, some time each day enjoying the beach & sea just below & a couple of days on good walks up to the top of the rock. Hopefully I'll stay here again some time.

About the host

Hosted by Carol Wilson (Owner)

We have we always wanted to buy a property in Both Worlds as it has many fond memories for us. We lived and worked at Both World in the 1970's when it was a hotel and realised how special the place was, when the opportunity came to purchase we did not hesitate and have loved coming back to our roots.

Why they chose this property

The apartment is situated on the lower level so closer to the beach. It is only one of two units with a terraced garden and private patio. It is gated so private and safe. The views over the med are spectacular with the sunrises you capture the best of the day.Both Worlds is on the quieter side of Gibraltar so this ensures a relaxing stay with the only noise being the gentle lapping of the waves and seagulls passing by.

What makes this property unique

Private gated access only to guests. Not overlooked and with a fantastic panoramic view of the med. Self contained with all home comforts.
