Underwhelmed, but all in all decent place to stay!
We stayed in this home for a week, arriving in Spain with family from two different countries. We have stayed in large homes before with the same group so we feel as if we are pretty well versed in what makes a prime villa for a vacation abroad. All in all, this house was beautiful, but there were some things we wish we could have known, so I'll put them here for future inquirers:
This trip, we had a baby in tow, and had arranged for a bassinet for him. When we got there, the bassinet simply an old pack-n-play, with the bottom partially blown out and a towel over it. We would have liked to have something a little more usable, which it was not. Baby ended up sleeping in bed with us, which isn't the safest situation. But we got by.
The house's is ALL tile and ANY noise anywhere in the house echos through the entire thing - and LOUD. Not the most ideal house for a napping baby, so I think it's important to include that in case anyone plans on having a baby.
Many homes in Europe have ants, so this one is no exception. But for those not versed in keeping ALL food completely locked up and sealed, this house also requires that or you will be met with a barrage of small sugar ants all over the house.
The driveway: Watch out! We are very careful drivers, but we still scraped the car on the cement wall (luckily no damage) getting in and out. It was a site to see each time someone had to pull in or out of the gate, which only allowed for a couple inches on each side of the care for clearance. Not to mention the driveway is very steep, and you immediately have to gun it to the top or fear the car stalls. Can be tricky, so if you have hesitancy doing things like this, keep that in mind. Park outside to gate maybe?
The one "BAD" thing - the directions to this home were as if we were on candid camera and being watched as we aimlessly turned up and down winding streets. First off, it says to follow one road down the hill, and take a left at some street. However, the sign with that street name isn't until AFTER you pass the turn. SO, you'd have to MISS the turn in order to SEE the sign. Makes zero sense. Once we figured out where to turn off the main drag, we FINALLY found the home. Just be ready to get lost.
Some good things: The people who run and/or own the home were extremely friendly and responsive. When we had questions, they were there to answer them. The house has an AMAZING view, and good driving distance to many sights.
