Maria's house is lovely and the location is perfect for access to the local bars, restaurants and market square. Alaro is a great location as a base to visit other parts of the island ( by car). The secluded courtyard garden and pool were lovely, although the pool has a few broken tiles. This did not spoil our enjoyment of the space. Our apartment was on the ground floor with direct access to the garden and pool area. It was very hot during our stay and mosquitoes were a bit of a problem. Our daughter's apartment was on the top floor so quite a lot of stairs to climb. I think there were 4 or 5 more apartments sharing the facilities but this was not a problem. We met some very interesting and friendly people.
The beds were clean and comfortable. Good towels were provided for both the bathroom and the pool.
The kitchen in the main house was full of all sorts of equipment that could be borrowed if it was not available in our own kitchen, but we felt that it was a bit disorganised. There were many damaged plates and cups/mugs. I'd have preferred to have fewer plates in good condition.
Maria is a great host. Communication was excellent and she responded very quickly to all our queries and requests.
Overall we enjoyed our stay. Attention to a few minor details would improve this accommodation, raising it to a very high standard, but I would not hesitate to recommend it. We would definitely return.
Thanks Maria.
