Would absolutely stay again.

This is an interesting property with a very traditional Spanish feel. The house itself was huge - we rented the 3 bed option (one double, two twins), 3 bathrooms, 1 dining room, 1 huge living room, smallish kitchen and outdoor seating and sun areas with a private pool which enjoyed the stunning sunsets. Air conditioning units in all rooms (except the kitchen). It was very clean throughout. The rooms are arranged around a courtyard where you can park your car. Layout takes a little getting used to as you walk through each room to get to the next so the double leads off the living room and you have to walk through this bedroom into a Jack and Jill bathroom which sits between the double and first twin (great if you have smaller kids - ours are adults!) Then you walk through the first twin into a small hall which leads to another bathroom and the second twin. There is a separate door into the courtyard from the small hall between the two twins so you can go outside rather than through the bedrooms but if you want to do this in the morning, make sure you have the doorkeys with you! Sounds confusing but you quickly get used to the layout. The location is beautifully quiet and secluded, 800m to El Garrobo village where there is a tabac, small supermarket, bank and pharmacy on the main high street. The pool was beautiful and a welcome relief as we stayed during the recent heatwave, partly in shade :) There is a gate you can shut to close the pool off (small kids) but the pool itself has two steps down (one sittable) then is around 2m deep for the remainder. Lovely swinging chair and sun loungers. Amenitites were great (showers, baths etc.) and the kitchen was well stocked with crockery and cooking utensils. Very quick responses from the booking organisers via whatsapp.

− Towels (not pool towels), bed linen and toilet roll are supplied but that's it. So come prepared with water, washing up liquid, coffee pods (Dolce Gusto), cooking oil, shower gel etc. All of this stuff is available in the village - the tabac has a small supermarket attached which stays open til 2.30pm (then opens again around 5.30pm).
