My friends and I spent 10 days in this beautiful house, and we absolutely enjoyed every minute of it!
The house is very spacious, and equipped with everything you could possibly need. It is divided between an upstairs- and a downstairs living area. This allows guests a lot of breathing room, which quickly proved welcome for a group of 9 boisterous guys. The swimming pool and downstairs porch quickly became more communal areas, while the upstairs balcony and living room allowed for the opportunity of finding some peace and quiet.
The house is very true to the image presented in the ad, although the downstairs porch is in fact a lot larger and more beautiful than how it appears in the photos. It’s basically twice the size you think it is. The same goes for the amount of space around the house. Although located in a neighbourhood, you rarely notice the presence of other people.
Kitchen facilities are pretty good; sufficient amounts of pots, pans, plates, cutlery, oven dishes, etc. Enough fridge/freezer space to cater to larger groups. The oven can be somewhat tricky to get under control, and proper cooking knives are lacking. Neither proved much of a problem to us, as we quickly figured out how to work the oven, and we had brought our own chef’s knives.
The bedrooms are generally very pleasant, although some have better ventilation than others. Aside from that it’s incredibly hard to think of something to complain about.
Mayte and Francis are incredibly lovely hosts who have consistently been available for questions and requests. From the start of our booking process until well after our stay at their lovely house, communication has been clear and quick without exception.
We sincerely hope to be back some day!
