Gibraltar Home from Home: Gibraltar is a British Over Seas Territory - Gibraltar is known as little Britain, it has all the shops you expect to see in

a UK high Street, from M&S, British Home Stores, Next, Monsoon and many more, including many high end Designer Brands. Gibraltar also has lots of jewellers selling silver items to Rolex Watches. For food we have Morrison’s & Iceland so you can treat yourselves to all your usual food indulgences.

Gibraltar has very cheap Cigarettes, Cigars, alcohol about 3 or 4 times cheaper than the UK, in most cases.

Gibraltar is like the UK was 30 years ago, very safe and hardly any crime.

You see the bobby's walking around in the winter with their helmets on, as in the UK, In the summer with shorts, T-shirts and flat caps, but always very visible.

The weather in Gibraltar It is mostly good. In the summer it is hot and dry, with a sea breeze. In winter the days are mostly nice, a bit like a nice summers day in the UK 19/20C, we do sometimes have rain in.

The Apartment Outside : -The apartment is road level, no stairs, and looks like a detached bungalow from the back, we have no attached neighbours ether side, just below, so its a very quiet location. Parking is available in the road.

-The balcony is so private that you can sun yourself all over, no one can see you, except the birds!!

-The apartment is suitable for all ages, and holiday types, from Honeymooners, those on their second Honeymoon,

-Families, the Elderly, Friends sharing.

The Balcony is large and not over Looked.

-The apartment has wonderful views over looking the beach and the sea. The sea always has many boats moored out at sea, its great to look at them, through the telescope.

Look to the left, see Spain. Look to the right, see Africa.

-The Balcony is decked with comfortable furniture, cushions Table with four chairs, Telescope

-BBQ which uses coals, so you can have an easy cooking holiday if required, also has outside lighting.

From the Balcony: Often you see the police & customs training in the water this is quite a sceptical to see. Christmas Day Santa travels around the island on the Police launch, waving to every body.

We have even seen an American submarine rise up from the water in front of the apartment, it was dropping officials off, Chelsea, Hillary Clintons daughter.

A car Is not necessary, if you want to travel extensively in Spain their are coaches you csn pick up from the border, if you want to go to Africa, you can book a trip from one of the agents in Gibraltar, they will arrange for a bus to pick you up, take you to the Spainish port, then you across the water by fast hovercraft, then a coach takes your around the other end, it is a long busy day, but well worth it.

Buses in Gibraltar are very frequent and very reasonable. You can get a bus to the border or all around the island.

About John

Maggie Retired business owner, John a retired farmer, we have five Grandchildren all in the UK.

John purchased this apartment in 2007
Why John chose Gibraltar

We have just spent over £14,000 revamping our apartment, in 2013. Because of it unique location, we have taken out the windows and doors leading onto the balcony, fitting massive sliding glass doors, lowering the balcony in line with the inside, giving an inside outside look, and complementing the balcony with the inside flooring. We have fitted large white sofas, plus a white round table to match, for the balconhy, giving a expensive luxury New York, feel.

What makes this apartment unique

Totally private balcony, so you can sunbath in the all together, you can eat in or outside with the BBQ, we have many cooking utensils, so you can have a party if you so chose. The beds are very comfortable. The views from the balcony are spectacular, in both the night and day. We have fitted shutters to the new doors, so you will have a good night sleep, being lulled by the sea.

My self & my family spent 10 wonderful days in this apartment. Its was fantastic. The view....WOW! What more can you asked for?.....The Med sea to the front & the outstanding Rock to the rear. The apartment is very well maintained & was like a home from home.
Bus stop not far fort the apartment & buses run on a farily regular time. Loved walking upto the top of the rock & seeing the views from there; Amazing!

Maggie & John are so helpful. Had a few teething problems but Maggie had them sorted out within the day.

Thankyou for a wonderful holiday x

Best location in Gibraltar!

4 of 5
Submitted: November 6, 2011 Stayed: October 2011
Catalan Bay is really a great find and we loved being on the quiet side of the rock. The bus stop is close by and I think the most we waited was 5 minutes for a bus...the best way to get around. We loved watching the ships each day and the sunrises are incredible. The bed in the main bedroom is very comfortable and listening to the waves crash below was wonderful. Yes, this condo is starting to look a little tired, but when you consider this incredible location, the little imperfections really don't matter (the kitchen was well stocked with everything you could possibly need). My partner & had an amazing week here and are anxious to return!

booked for july 2011 the flat in the pictures looked ideal but was disapointing as the balcony was not as nice as the picture suggested with tired decking. the inside was cluttered with owners bits and pieces esp. the kitchen. there was a large fridge freezer in the main bedroom which was loud at night even tho there was a fridge in the kitchen.The wardrobe blocked the air con which made it not as effective. the bed was uncomfortable. i even resorted to the settee one night for a better sleep. we loved gibraltar its a fab place and people very friendly . will come again just not to this apartment

Brilliant!

5 of 5
Submitted: August 1, 2011 Stayed: July 2011
Just returned from a week here and am itching to go back! The position of the apartment is brilliant - away from the bustle of the town centre with the sound of the sea day and night long. The apartment itself felt more like a home than a holiday let with everything you could ask for and more. And what an amazing shower!
Maggie provided full information by email, answered my questions and made a good recommendation for lunch at the Caleta as we were arriving a little early. Sue had the apartment clean and ready for us and helped us to settle in.
We got out and about on the free (!!) buses and via tours booked through Julie at the local hotel. The beach was down a number of steps (kept me fit!) but always clean and peaceful with plenty of space.
Thoroughly recommended!

Incoming telephone only, mobile phones poor signal, no information left out on how to use television etc… On the plus side, bedding,bed,lounge furniture, linen clean and comfortable, ....
