Pensión Aia

If there were an Olympic gold medal for cleanliness, it would be awarded to Pension Aia. In addition to being spotless, it is an inviting, well-designed space with a welcoming common kitchen. The kitchen has a toaster, a microwave, a fridge, plates, bowls, silverware --- everything a traveler needs. The hosts are lovely and helpful. The location is convenient: it's in Gros, right across the bridge from the old town. Details to be aware of: some rooms don't have a window (the cozy design of the room more than makes up for it, though), and most of the double beds are a couple of inches narrower than the U.S. queen size mattress --- very comfortable, fits two people, but just a tad smaller than you might be used to. And if you have booked a room with a shared bathroom and you're not sure what that means, do not fret: there is a shower in each room. The toilets are indeed shared, but there are plenty of them (4 or 5), each one looks like a private bathroom with a door, they are spotlessly clean, they are in the hall, and you don't hear them. A really comfortable experience overall.

I had a wonderful stay here! Everything was very clean and the location was ideal, just a few steps away from the beach. I highly recommend Pension Aia!

Such a gem! The people who run it are so kind. They gave wonderful local recommendations. The place is spotless and in a terrific location. Wonderful stay!

Everything was very clean, even the shared bathrooms. Staff were friendly and gave us good recommendations of things to do and places to eat.

Staff were super helpful and knowledgeable!

This is a special place, warm and welcoming hosts, lovely rooms, a very comfortable bed and nicely set up shared kitchen to make tea and coffee or a meal. We also loved the great location, really close to the beach, so easy to check the surf and go surfing. Would stay again in a heartbeat!! Thank you
