Hemos pasado un finde maravilloso como siempre. Ese mirador es único y muy muy acogedor, relax total. La casa muy confortable todo de 10.
La casa es espectacular todo perfecto, los dueños muy agradable,lo que yo terminaría es quitar las piedras que hay delante de la casas y a las losas le echaría el líquido para que resbale menos x lo demás es la primera casa que voy y tiene todo muy muy bien y las camas super cómodas en fin volvemos
No se puede decir, !!no se puede decir, ni más alto ni más claro!! IMPRESIONANTE!!!
La casa o mejor dicho el Chalet maravilloso, limpieza, mobiliario, utensilios de cocina, ropa,etc.etc.,no se puede poner un pero a nada y de Pedro el Anfitrión, persona educada, simpática, amable, y sobre todo servicial, la pena de todo es que te tienes que venir, en fin unos días maravillosos, sin duda en el momento que podamos volveremos, !!ahhhh!!se me olvida una cosa importante!!las vistas desde el Chalet !!espectaculares!!
Absolutely loved the house and especially outside. That for me is the main reason to rent a house in Andalusia, the outside area. Don't get me wrong, inside was great for 6p and comfortable but outside was a gem. The pool was great, with natural water and the view was to die for. View of the lake and surrounding hills/mountains with Zahara in the distance or view of the rocky mountain behind the house with the vultures gliding through the air. Everywhere around the house are different spots to sit and enjoy your every need. Sun, breeze, shade, view of your choice....it was great. Pedro the owner doesn't speak much English and I don't speak much Spanish but he was always a call away and in the end we could communicate just fine with each other. Pedro and his wife (Marie?) and their dog Toby are super friendly and helpful. We loved the setting between Rinda, Sevilla, Cadiz and Marbella. Sevilla by the way is BEAUTIFUL. So.was Caminito del Rey and Ronda. The beachclub at Marbella was a luxurious day out and I played a round of golf in Marbella at Flamingos GC which was also a.great experience. But lazy days at the house were equally great.
So are their no downsides to the house? Sure, ai advised Pedro to make an information package for the guests how certain things work in the house, nice places to visit, where to eat, where to shop (supermarket) etc. That would have been helpful. Also in the weekend there is one other house approx. 200m away that turns into a nightclub so to speak, where the guests(?) turn up the music all weekend that it is difficult to enjoy the house the way it is intended. At least we come to such 'deserted' houses for the view and peace & quiet (nature sounds). Pedro did call the owner of.that house and it got better (or the guests left?). And in the same category, down in the valley approx 500m away 1 weekend their was a shooting event where they were skeet shooting the hole weekend. Also not the sounds we were looking for. But all in all, including our own excursions.and town visits it was GREAT. A place to come back to (I only hope.the owner of the other house does something about the.noise). Thank you Pedro, hope.to.meat you again some day.
Estuvimos en Semana Santa y todo fue genial, muy por encima de nuestras expectativas. Lo más sorprendente las vistas tan espectaculares y la limpieza de la casa. Somos asiduos a ir de vacaciones rurales y esta casa es la mejor en la que hemos estado. Los anfitriones son personas encantadoras, muy familiar y siempre atentos con nosotros. No pongo más estrellas porque no hay más jajaja Gracias por todo Pedro, volveremos.
Como siempre unos días de relax con fantásticas vistas y toda clase de comodidades. Tontamente recomendable!!
Estuvimos el fin de semana pasado con día parejas más, a los seis nos encantó la casa , no le faltaba detalle, el entorno maravilloso, unas vistas espectaculares.La piscina muy bien. Seguro que repetiremos!!. Y Pedro y su señora encantadores, buenos anfitriones enseñándole todo, muy buena gente como decimos por aquí. Muchas gracias por todo.
Hemos pasado 15 días muy tranquilos en un entorno natural privilegiado. Una casa con muy buenas calidades que nos ha hecho sentirnos cómodos y relajados. Darle las gracias a Pedro,el dueño por su trato humano y por estar en todo momento muy pendientes de nosotros.
Estuvimos este fin de semana pasado en esta casa y en terminos generales bien, la casa es muy bonita, con una buena piscina y vistas preciosas. Por dentro la cocina por ejemplo tiene de todo, y todo en sí muy limpio y bonito. Pero...
La casa tiene 3 habitaciones MUY diferentes entre sí, yo por ejemplo no recomendaria cogerla para 3 parejas, porque una de las habitaciones tiene 2 camas separadas super pequeñas y muy muy oscura, pero lo peor es la calor! La casa tiene 2 aires acondicionados ( en el salon y la suite), lo sabiamos, pero lo que no es normal es encontrarnos la habitacion con 3 ventiladores estropeados! vaya uno de ellos salió hasta quemado cuando lo encendimos. con una calor sofocante, imposible dormir! llamamos al dueño, y practicamente nos dijo que nos aguantaramos! Que no iba a hacer nada, es más se escudó en que no ponia nada de ventiladores en la web... a ver...hablamos de una casa que cuesta 450€ 3 noches...ni de lejos de las más baratas para que nos tratara asi! no nos gustó nada su actitud, a la defensiva y muy lejos de otros dueños que hemos conocido de ayudar a que todo este perfecto. ¿Como puedes alquilar una casa sin ventiladores o al menos, estropeados? Dormimos fatal!! Ya luego, el desagüe de la cocina desde el 1º dia atascado, teniendo que arreglarlo cada vez que fregabamos ¡asqueroso!...ni nos atrevimos a llamarlo viendo la actitud suya del dia anterior. Si llegamos a estar más dias, nos hubieramos tenido que ir a Ronda a comprarnos un ventilador por lo insoportable de dormir alli.increible!
Vivienda confortable... Muy limpio y el dueño atento a cualquier problema..
Sitio bien ubicado y tranquilo.
Todo perfecto.
