About the provider

Hi I'm married to Philip and worked in Gibraltar in the 70's where we fell in love with the place. We have been visiting Gibraltar on a regular basis and we were lucky enough to find an apartment on the same complex in 2011. Ours is one of only two properties with a garden, a patio and private access. We hope you will love Gibraltar too as it is a safe place to visit with British home comforts and plenty of sunshine. The apartment is our second home so please treat it as you would yours. It is comfy, bright and has lots of little extra touches. Starter pack and toiletries help to settle you in. Hope you enjoy the place as much as we do.
