Wow, words can't describe how amazing my stay was. My friend and I had the fortune of staying during a time when Federico's father, Andrea, was overseeing everything since Federico was out of town. Firstly, Andrea was thorough and very helpful in explaining everything. He doesn't think his English is that good, but he was perfect! After the initial meeting, my friend and I called him our guardian angel. There was a list of recommended places to eat and we kept seeing him everywhere, at those places! We had questions that he was right there and ready to do his best to answer.
Unfortunately, we could not open the gate's door on the first night. It was 12 am and we'd been trying for a long time. I reluctantly called Andrea for assistance and he arrived shortly thereafter. He insisted that it was no problem because he was awake, doing work, and didn't live that far away. Such a nice man!
The stay was great overall. Really nice place, just those hills!! 4 if I counted correctly. They killed my asthmatic self, but it was great exercise and I lost weight, lol. However, after a long day of sightseeing, if you're tired, it'll be a lot. Steadfast!
The last day blew me away. My friend had gastric problems and was sick all morning. We managed to check out and go to a restaurant near, to grab something to eat. While my friend slouched miserably over the table, Andrea walked in! Not only did he help me with my order in the restaurant, but he PAID! He insisted that I was his guest and it was the right thing to do. Wow. Then he asked about my friend and was overly concerned. Our flight wasn't for 6 more hours and there was no way that we would be able to do any last day sightseeing with her condition. He invited us back to the apartment for a few hours while the workers cleaned and before the next guests arrived. I tell you, this man is a saint. He drove us back and allowed my friend to rest, gave her a blanket and water and was a complete angel. She felt better after sleeping for a few hours, so we prepared to leave. Andrea told us that we were able to stay for a few more hours because he had asked the next guests to arrive a little later. We couldn't stay longer though, and he drove us to the train station! I've never been more filled with gratitude. The man is a gift straight from God and all he wanted in return was "leave a nice review." What a nice father!
I would definitely recommend this to everyone (maybe you'll be lucky enough to have Andrea overseeing), and I would return and even endure the hill, haha.
