The best
Okay so the property is wonderful, and entirely deserving of a 10. It’s quiet, secluded, stupendous views, incredibly clean, spacious, well-equipped and thoughtfully designed. The outside areas are fabulous, with numerous places to sit and relax, either shaded or in full sun. It really is a place to spend some time at, and just be. It could do with aircon in the bedrooms but the large fans work ok. However, there’s a major issue, which some reviews touch on, but is under-stated in the property description. To get to the property, you have to drive almost 1km along a narrow, steep and (hairpin) bendy track. I’m a good driver, driving up hairpins every other day at home, but in a brand new hire car, fearing any scratch will cost me money, it’s an experience I wouldn’t want to repeat. Eventually I gave up, parked the car in Fornalutx below, and walked up and down from the village 40mins each way. Of the 2 hosts, Toni is a lovely chap, and we had a good discussion about this. He offered to give us lifts up and down, but that’s not really practical. I had requested that they include something in the Property Description about the track (saying it is a “forest track” as it does on their Spanish page, does not convey how difficult it is to drive up); and indeed booking dot com were requesting similarly from them. Since, at the time of posting this review, the Property Description still says nothing about the track, I’ve felt it needed to be said to avoid anyone else being placed at potential financial risk from damage to their car. That aside, the property is genuinely lovely, full of peace and tranquillity, and I can see why people continue to come back to it when you know what’s involved in getting there. Fornalutx is an enchanting village, and the countryside around glorious. Temperatures were too hot for us to do much serious walking into the mountains, but there is a huge opportunity for that.
