Apartment for rent in La Mata, Torrevieja.
From the very first contact with Lenka Matthews, the communication was perfect. Everything went according to what we agreed.
The apartment is newly refurbished, and equipped in the modern style. We made full use of its facilities, and thanks to that we had a luxuriously pleasant vacation.
The apartment is well situated, both a short distance to the beautiful La Mata beach and a view of the sea. This beautiful view can also be seen from the beautiful community pool in the complex. Convenience is complemented by a department store which is 5 minutes by walk.
We are very excited about our stay here and will definitely come back here in the future.
We very much appreciated the excellent service of Lenka Matthews and we look forward to further cooperation.
We warmly recommend the services and accommodation to everyone.

Eva and Jirka, clients – residential property, Spain
“We received Lenka´s contact details more or less by „accident“. We were through a bad experience with another broker. The connection with her felt like a miracle! The fact that our first phone call took place on Sunday at ten o’clock in the evening speaks for itself.
Thanks to Lenka´s client-friendly, positive and extremely practical approach, we purchased a property that meets all our requirements, and serves well to save our free funds in a record short time. Now we have another adventures ahead of us – refurbishment and rental, which will be controlled remotely by us, so Lenka is again our extended hand, which we completely trust. We highly recommend working with Lenka Matthews to anyone considering/or wanting to buy property in Spain.“
Zuzka and Radek, clients – residential property, Spain
“Reliable, understanding, smart, and very well experienced – these words could be used to describe Matthews & Partners. From the first time, we had met the team we had known they were the right people to work with. It is our pleasure to be in their hands and surely advisable. Their service does not end with buying property as they guide us, and supervise the entire process until the key-ready – and it is done to the word-perfect. Thank you! Zuzka and Radek”
Jirka, client – residential property, Spain
“The service you want, and dream about. This is exactly how I would summarize our experience with Matthews & Partners. From the first moment, we had a specific idea of what type of property we would like to purchase. Lenka presented and showed us several options, introduced the surroundings of the projects, nearest shops, hospitals and other important places. Spending two days together choosing a particular property was a great time that we really enjoyed, actually – the entire family. If you want an individual and friendly approach, M&P is a first choice for choosing your home by the sea.”
