It might say at the top of the page that this was published in July, but it’s almost August, and we are all in holiday mode. Another couple of days and we can head off to recharge the batteries and come back with ganas overflowing. Wherever it is you go for your break. To the beach, back to the old sod, or indeed a house in Asturias (just west Waterford really, with more beans and less hurling).

However before we go, always good to leave on a high, and this apartment just outside the old town fits the bill. 3 bedrooms, a full bathroom and another toilet off the master bedroom. It being a first floor, there is a terrace, but what’s a little unusual is that the building does not form part of a block, so when you are on the terrace it doesn’t feel like you are surrounded by neighbours looking down on you. Instead it looks out onto a street, and to the south, so it is very bright.

The kitchen, living area and master bedroom all open onto this terrace. There are 2 other bedrooms, and a separate kitchen. It’s a classic façade, from around the year 1900, a well maintained building and this apartment has been recently renovated with air-conditioning, climalit windows and modern flooring.

So if this listing has made you spit out your fabadas, choke on your cachopo or snort cider through your nose, give us a call. And if you insist we’ll find a way for you to see it straight away, even in August, even in this heat, because it won’t be around for long once everyone comes back from holidays in September.
