Thank you so much. We have had a fab holiday and hope to see you again very soon - Iain, Carla, Ellie & Max. Manchester. August 2011
Within 10 minutes of arriving at Tranquility, we'd already decided we were coming back ! Our last 5 days of sunbathing,reading,swimming,eating & drinking have been perfect - and we are already planning on when we can come back again next year - most likely with additional family and friends. It won't matter how well we describe this place to them, they'll have to see it to believe it ! We were looking for complete relaxation and that's exactly what we got. Thanks again - Lisa & Steve, Oldham, Lancs. September 2011.
This is the second time we have been here, as the first time we came we noted that everything is here that you need. The owners are friendly and we love the sofa! This is a great way to spend "time out" with your friends - Mari, Esther & Friends, Murcia, March 2011.
Thank you very much for the welcome you have given us. We were very happy for your attention. It has been very relaxing. We hope to be able to return one day - Claudine, Guy, Michelle & Dominique (the "Frenchies" !), Strasbourg, France, September 2010.
We were very pleased with our villa. The setting is beautiful. The building is finished to a high standard and is very clean. The pool and grounds are very well kept and the additional outside kitchen was very nice to cook and eat in. The owners live on-site and are very friendly, they gave good local advice and made our holiday experience even better! Just perfect.... - Benjamin R., Cornwall. July 2010.
We had an extremely restful and pleasant stay at the aptly named Tranquility apartment. Shona and Fern were very hospitable hosts and made sure that we had everything we needed. If you want to get away from it all and be able to relax in lovely surroundings with oodles of peace and quiet, then this is the place for you. We will be recommending this apartment to family and friends, and would like to mention and thank the wonderful Zac who took us for a lively and interesting walk! - Debbie G., Haslemere, Surrey. April 2010.
Thanks for your great hospitality. We had a great relaxing week in Tranquility. We couldn't ask for better hosts. We will be back soon to see more of the lovely views and gardens and enjoy some more sunny weather. The apartment was wonderfully equipped and stylish. Thank you both again - Millie Emma and Ena, London. March 2009.

It was a pleasure to walk with the dog to Abaran - he's a beautiful dog - Victor W. Kessel, Belgium. July 2008.

We've had a great time. The setting of the beautiful mountains and panoramic views from the windows are excellent. The accommodation was comfortable and clean and TRANQUILITY was the most appropriate name. Thank you both for a super holiday - Roger and Millie A, Southampton, England. July 2008.
