While Santa Pau has its charms (it has an old medieval area but is mostly a drab, modern 1950s era village), and the surrounding countryside is very special, one wonders why we paid so much for a pokey, poorly furnished and poorly equipped house with no outdoor seating, very noisy neighbours, a non-functioning TV (the caretaker said she didn't know anything about TVs and never bothered to come back and try to fix it) which was especially frustrating considering that there was torrential rain every afternoon and evening and absolutely nothing to do in the village (cafes close at 9 pm).
It might be OK for the summer (although very hot I imagine) but in this dead week of May, we should expect much, much more for our money.
This place had little charm compared to other homely Airbnb experiences.
Disappointing.
