“Gorgeous house and the best location”

The best

The house is absolutely stunning. The pool is beautiful (not heated, but that was fine given the gorgeous weather). The house is huge and really beautifully laid out downstairs. We didn't require AC once nor heating at night. The house is extremely well insulated, so it remained at a comfortable temperature 24 hours a day. Lovely high ceilings too. The grounds are so beautiful, replete with plants and flowers. You feel like you're in paradise. It's so peaceful and quiet there. The view is to die for and the area is the best location for Alora. 6 mins to town, and the drive is easy compared to other locations we've stayed in. The beds are really comfortable, the rooms are well stocked with extra pillows, blankets etc.. And have blackout shutters so you hear no noise and there's no light coming through at all! Also there is a hairdryer with a diffuser - great if you have curly hair. The water pressure in the shower is fantastic.

To be improved

The wifi is appalling. We couldn't watch any streaming services. They really need to improve it. My brother lives up a remote mountain nearby and has the best wifi. The kitchen looks very nice, but be warned, there is no salt, pepper, oil, kitchen roll. No basics at all. In the bathroom you are supplied with a very generous amount of soap, shower gel and shampoo, but no conditioner, which again is minor, but would be useful to know for us ladies! The red coffee machine that you see in the images is not available. There is one of those Italian coffee pots you put on the hob or a drip coffee machine that requires filters. I found the communication okay, but vague. When I asked about the coffee machine I was told "Italian" which meant very little to me, so I went by the image I saw and bought pods for that red machine that doesn't exist. Not the end of the world, just needs better description for newcomers. Also, be warned. Check in is at 5pm. Which is very late by most people's/Airbnb/hotel standards. None of these are deal breakers, they just need to be perhaps a bit more descriptive and also must improve the wifi for the amount of money being charged.
