Elite Apartments are in central, sought-after but secluded spots within real communities. By shopping, eating-out, drinking and relaxing as locals do you get to know them and their culture. Instead of room service, an experience of real life.

So much more comfortable than a hotel - the guests mention that its beneficial to have the full facilities to cook instead of having to go out to eat. Our team often have late meetings which is also beneficial to have the dining room facilities. Yarm is such a lovely little Market Town which benefits from excellent local amenities, with shops, restaurants, pubs and has easy transport links to other major towns and surrounding countryside. Nothing is too much trouble for the Team, they are very attentive.

Tarragona is a gorgeous port and resort on the Costa Dorada (Golden Coast) about an hour’s drive or rail journey south of Barcelona. Having a population of 132,000 it has the amenities of a city combined with a village-like intimacy. Once the capital of the Roman Empire in Spain, today Tarragona is a place where history and culture are crowned with blue skies, blessed with beautiful beaches and an abundance of fine wine and cuisine. A beach called “miracle”, beside a Roman amphitheatre viewed from a terrace at the end of a Barcelona style Rambla, that’s the essence of Tarragona.
Sitges
The business of Sitges may be pleasure, but for those with work assignments in Catalonia it is a commutable 35 mile distance from commercial capital Barcelona, making this old established resort town a relaxing place to be based. The town is full to bursting with classic art deco buildings and the seafront promenade is lined with palm trees. Its comparatively small size (28,000 inhabitants) makes it easy to get to know its quieter bars and classy restaurants – in contrast to clubs and nightlife famous Europe-wide – especially during the off-season. Having resisted mass tourism in the Fifties and Sixties,
Barcelona
Barcelona is the capital and largest city of Catalonia and Spain‘s second largest city, with a population of over one and half million. However, this beautiful city is compact enough for walking almost anywhere – from the beach which rests warmly in the Mediterranean Sea, all the way up Las Ramblas to the Placa De Catalunya which is the hub of the city centre, pausing at outdoor markets, restaurants, shops, museums and churches and losing yourself in medieval alleys of the Gothic Quarter. The longer you stay in your centrally situated ESA apartment, the more you’ll appreciate what an amazing combination of history,

What can you tell me about the locality where I’ll be living?
Posted by indigo on
Every apartment has a folder with helpful general facts about doctors, schools, police, tourist attractions, cafes etc., but we plan to upgrade this to information accessed on a tablet and specific to an individual’s profile e.g. For a health and fitness fan – local gym, physio, cycle routes, sports venues, organic eating.
Can you help with food?
Posted by indigo on
Apartments are self-catering, but residents in Elite apartments get started with a Welcome Hamper, and we can make eating-in easy with “Hello Fresh”, book caterers for special occasions and recommend local eateries and delivery services.
What do you need to know in order for us to make a reservation?
Posted by indigo on
Just give us a list of names, arrival/departure dates and preferred location. It’s all we need to know to mobilise the solution complete in every detail.
Do ESA apartments match our company policy on the environment?
Posted by indigo on
The apartments we own or lease comply with high standards of environmental management regarding energy consumption, waste handling and material sourcing.
What do you mean by “serviced”?
Posted by indigo on April 11, 2017
Fully Inclusive of all utility bills along with housekeeping service. All apartments have undergone a thorough deep clean before a new resident arrives. After that, Elite apartments get a weekly service – dusting, vacuuming, washing-up, bathroom clean-down and bedlinen, towel and bathmat change. Essential apartments have a weekly towel/bedlinen change.
What happens when I arrive?
Posted by indigo on
Once we’ve agreed a time, we meet and greet you personally at the door, show you round, demonstrate how all the appliances work, connect you up to the internet and give you the keys and answer any queries about the apartment and the area.
Do you charge per apartment or per person?
Posted by indigo on
Per apartment. This means another member of the project team can share or family or partner come to stay without any extra charge.
Is there a standard charge or can we make individual arrangements?
Posted by indigo on
Elite apartments start at £90 per night and Essential apartments at £60 a night, for multiple apartments occupied by the same company for periods in excess of one month.
What’s the shortest and longest time I can stay in an ESA apartment?
Posted by indigo on
The advantages over a hotel become apparent after nightly stays, so that’s the minimum. There’s no set maximum because we’ve known on-site projects to last for as long as three years.
