Can Veritat

However, several downsides impacted our stay: • The general upkeep of the outside area is lacking. Several of the sun loungers were broken or in poor condition, and the garden was not well maintained. We even cleaned the lavender area ourselves, which was completely overrun by invasive weeds. • The parasol on the terrace was broken on arrival, and it took four days to get a replacement. Even then, one small parasol is simply not enough for such a large terrace in the summer heat. • The air conditioning wasn’t working when we arrived. A technician had to be called in, delaying our comfort. There was no prior check to ensure everything was in order before our stay. • The house was difficult to find — a small sign with the house name at the entrance of the unpaved private road would make arrival much easier. • Water pressure in the house was inconsistent, with a lot of air in the pipes, which affected comfort. • One of the upstairs bedrooms had a radiator making noise, even though the heating was switched off. • Several electrical boxes in the house were not properly closed, which is a serious safety hazard — especially as we were travelling with a 2-year-old child. • The sink in the kitchen was leaking, which is both inconvenient and unhygienic. • We were heavily affected by mosquitoes and midges. While we understand this is part of countryside living, the absence of mosquito nets on the bedroom windows made it difficult to sleep. We were bitten multiple times each night despite using repellents and anti-mosquito lights. Conclusion: With a bit more care and attention to detail, this property could offer a much more comfortable and safe experience. Most of the issues mentioned could be solved with relatively minor — and not overly costly — improvements. Given the premium price, we expected better maintenance, preparation, and responsiveness. The potential is certainly there, but the overall guest experience would greatly benefit from more thoughtful management.
