We loved the peaceful location of the finca - surrounded with nature and woods is a perfect place to unwind from hectic days. We enjoyed fresh oranges and lemons that grow on the property. Miranda was kind to welcome us a bit earlier before the check in time as we arrived early in the morning. The internet connection was not so good but Miranda was very helpful and offered us to stay in the finca next door when we needed to work.
We didn’t have luck with weather as we had barely any sun for the entire stay, with an outside temperature between 10-15 degrees. Therefore we needed constant heating. On arrival we were welcomed with a basket of logs for wood oven, gas bottle for the gas oven and radiators that were working. The next morning the radiators were off and Miranda kindly explained we needed to buy additional 4 bottles of gas (each is 20eur) to restart the radiators which was a surprise.
Alternative was wood oven and gas oven where we had to buy logs / gas bottle by ourselves (as per listing description) and that’s what we were using to keep the place warm. Both ovens are located in the living room and are small, so the rest of the finca doesn’t get a lot of warmth from it, which is especially problematic for the bathroom. Finca is not made for lower temperatures, the isolation is not good. It gets very humid inside the house, water was dripping from windows and our clothes and towels were damp.
The weather can’t be changed but the communication regarding heating options could be more clear and straight forward so the guests know what to expect beforehand and avoid potential disappointment.
