“Beautiful villa in a beautiful location, just needs a little TLC”

The best

The villa is in a beautifully scenic and peaceful location—perfect for enjoying some quiet time away. The house itself was spacious, well-equipped, and felt very homely. The attention to detail in decor was lovely. The beds were especially comfortable, which made for a good night's sleep throughout our stay. We appreciated the overall layout and the roominess, which gave our family plenty of space to relax. We loved playa Oriñón, absolutely beautiful!

The location, while beautiful, is quite remote. There were no shops within walking distance, and even the nearest one was rarely open, which made picking up essentials a bit of a challenge. The driveway was very awkward to access—you have to reverse down the road and make a tight turn to get in, which was stressful. We also had several issues with the kitchen: the main oven didn’t heat properly due to a broken seal, and when we tried using the upstairs oven instead, it blew the electrics for the whole house. The following day we decided to have a BBQ so we didn't have to figure out the broken ovens. The BBQ was dirty and needed a lot of cleaning before it was useable. The toaster didn’t work well, and one of the two kitchen plug sockets was temperamental which was a pain to sort out. While we still made the most of our holiday, these issues did impact our experience. The pool was also freezing cold!

Location was undoubtedly as good as you will find. The house is enormous and very clean. Everything you will need for a perfect short break with friends or a fortnight family holiday.

we were woken up by the sprinkler system at 5am but this was fixed when we asked. The bed in the master bedroom was not great for us, but that can be taste.
