Nice villa but a little remote
Review Submitted: September 24, 2008
Date of Stay: August 2008
The villa is everything the descrption says and the arrival BBQ was most welcome. Whilst fans are provided the villa would benefit from air conditioning as the evenings were uncomfortably warm during out visit in early August. Also beware when lighting the oven, we came back with a few less hairs on our arms and hands!!
The villa is remote and not really within walking distance of anywhere, especially if you are travelling with children, so a car is essential.
Strugled to find good restaurants within a short driving distance of the villa therefore the BBQ area came in very handy.
Payment of the rental fee and deposit could be made much easier.
Owner's Response: We are glad that you found the villa to be everything the description says. The evenings in August are generally warm and that's why it is such a popular destination, but we do not believe that air conditioning is necessary and have put a lot of effort into making the house secure so that you can sleep safely day or night with doors and windows open. The house has thick walls which work to keep it cool in summer, but for those still evenings the electric fans are a blessing.
The house is situated in the countryside and has the advantage of having no neighbours, but if you don't mind walking for 15 minutes (probably 20 on the way back if you’ve frequented any of the bars!) you can reach civilisation, bars and shops.
There are plenty of decent restaurants within a 10 min drive both on the cost and inland, with the hamlets of San Agustin and San Joseph just up the road. We do leave info on tried and tasted restaurants in the villa, but I guess you can't please all of the people all of the time!
We are changing the security deposit procedure for next year to make it easier for our clients and us.
We are pleased that you managed to enjoy yourselves anyway.
