Villa Manolo Torrox by Ruralidays

Strong Smell of mould in the kitchen this was found behind the draw units had to wash all the utensils and pans. Bed and sofa (both hard) wasn’t the greatest but they both did the job. The bedroom door rubbed along the tiles which was made difficult to fully open causing noise in the night when opening and closing. Toilet pan isn’t fixed to the floor properly so move when in use.

Tricky access down a steep track.

There was nothing that we didn’t like about Villa Manolo but, if we could add anything to improve the stay, it would be good to have some signs on the main road, and the road leading to the villa as it’s a difficult place to find and you don’t quite expect it to be so far off the beaten track. It was lovely to have the little welcome backer of wine, olives and water but it would have been really handy if there had been some basic condiments such as salt and pepper. Some washing up liquid, and cloths etc to help us to keep the villa clean. The wasps and mosquitoes are a bit of a pain so make sure that you take plenty of repellent but, don’t let it put you off visiting as it truly is a magical place.

Issues with lock on gate, found out we weren't first to report this. Could do to heat pool . We went early September and the water temp was very cold. Day bed available for use around pool but could only be put poolside by removing doors on conservatory. Had to contact the owner whenever we needed the day bed to be moved. Bi-fold doors would resolve the issue.

Outdoor furniture, poor quality towels and lack of basics in kitchen eg condiments, washing powder, etc
