Barbel is fantastic. Her, her dogs and her home make up an idyllic Spanish paradise. She offered us drinks on arrival, breakfast on the first day and coffee every morning. Her property is big and whilst she is always around working on it, she's always happy to help at any given time without being invasive at all.
The only thing to mention - if you want a property to sit by the pool here might not be your best option. We sat by it one night and were bitten quite a bit by mosquitos and with all the greenery around meant the actual pool could have been a bit cleaner. This really didn't bother us though, we had a fantastic time and staying at Barbels property really made it!
