Furniture Tips

For Candyfloss, the Carrefour is past Torrevieja from where you are.  Go along the N332, continue past the Torrevieja turns and come off at the next junction past Torrevieja Salinas.  Turn left at the roundabout and the big Carrefour is on your right just past the Habaneras centre.

On the other hand, as you live in San Pedro, you have Eroski in Dos Mares which is just as good.  There is also the Centro Mediterraneo at Cartagena (Last exit from the motorway just before Cartagena) which has an excellent electrical shop (like Currys in UK) and a big Carrefour there as well.  There are also furniture shops, a Toys R Us and several other outlets including a very big DIY store.  Two furniture stores to recommend in Torrevieja are Hnos Garcia (which Jeansis has already mentioned) and the La Factoria Muebles, both have outlets on the old Torrevieja/Alicante road (come off at the roundabout I mentioned for Carrefour Torrevieja but instead of turning left at the roundabout, go straight on past the old windmill towards where the Friday market is held, the Torrevieja/Alicante road is, I think, the 3rd turning to the left but it is the main 2 lane road so easy to find).

Thank you Bobaol

Sorry misled you, I know my way as far as the San Pedro roundabout, we are close to Dos Mares so thanks for the info on that. I will take your directions with me and venture towards Torrevieja. Will probably come back to me when we get there. Did find my way to Ikea last time so should find it.

Thanks

Hi Janice,

I purchased a 3 bedroom apartment in Benalmadena, CDS in February this year. Being busy I was keen to find someone who could provide a full service for  me. After having done alot of work on the internet and having been very dissapointed with both the quality and pre-sales services offered by some of the bigger companies (particularly Andalucian Dream Interiors- that is another story), I contacted Rosemary Smith of Sunshine Interiors in Arroyo Del La Miel who was recommended on this forum. The service has been really excellent and the quality very good. The moment I contacted Rosemary from Ireland she sent me by e-mail, lots of examples of what they could offer. My wife and I met with Rosemary and her partner just before we completed and put together a package to fully furnish our apartment. This included everything from beds, lights, chairs, tables , curtains , curtains etc right down to waste bins. Rosemary kept us fully up to date on everything, with the result that when we opened the door to our new apartment for the first time we just had to walk in and not do anything!!. I cannot recommend Sunshine Interiors enough, they are really excellent!! Not once did we have to chase and everything was done on time and with great care, and great value when compared with some of the other packages on offer!!

Also being a resale , we needed a bit of painting and a few repairs carried out. Rosemary arranged this through her son, John Smith, who runs Sunshine Property Management. Betweeen the 2 of them the apartment looks fantastic.

It was just great being able to deal with one familiy who between them not only managed all the fixtures and fittings, but also painted the entire apartment, rebuilt built in wardobes did alot of small jobs and even waited in the apartment for a day for Endesa to turn up and change the amp meter. What service!! Infact John after having accepted the initial quote, came back and then told me that he had found a cheaper way for me to do some of the things I had asked him to do. Unheard of in Ireland.

Sorry for being so long, but you do get so use to poor service and quality that when you actually meet a company that lives up to its brand you want to let as many people know as possible!!
