It was a real pleasure to meet Carmen, who explained everything we needed to know about the house, and told us how to get to the kind of beaches (quiet, undeveloped beaches) that we so enjoyed. The house itself is a lovely authentic traditional house in the older part of Portocolom, a short walk from the local shop/bakery, and a stone's throw from the pretty harbourside. It was clean and was a nice peaceful place for our stay.
