Casas La Principal

The full immersion in nature, the peacocks by your doorstep, the Friday night live music event. Really recommended!

Sometimes you just want to write all the good things about a property but I feel it is important that future guests make decisions with more detailed information and the understanding that not everyone will feel the same way. It was an interesting location, remote and filled with beautiful flowers, trees and plants indigenous to La Palma. It was raining when we arrived so everything was exceptionally green and wet. There was a dehumidifier running to help with the humidity in the unit. We also appreciated the small heaters provided to take the chill off the cooler evening. The pictures are true on the site with nice furniture and furnishings. Unfortunately they are very dirty as is the rug. The kitchen, attractive but lacking in any extras including towels and only a very well used and dirty sponge to clean with. The same with the bathroom, given only 1 bath towel each with no hand towels or shower gel and a shower that drains very slowly. This is a very old and rustic home that has been nicely appointed but in need of a deep clean. Hugo was kind enough to prepare the house to accommodate our early arrival. The tile was spotless but cleaned with a very strong agent that left a toxic odor. There is no mat at the door so we tracked in dirt from the damp ground each time we entered. The front door had significant gaps at the bottom and door frame large enough for insects, mice and lizards to enter. Fortunately we didn't encounter anything but a lot of flies. It's such a lovely setting and charming house but it really needs more attention to details.
