The house and gardens are beautiful however the owner nearly ruined our trip with her incredibly hostile attitude. We were aware of a €300 security deposit and eco tax, both to be paid in cash on arrival.
We asked Rosa when we met if it was possible to pay through air bnb and not cash, air bnb are very clear that no money should be exchanged outside of the site for deposits/tax and I showed her the website in Spanish to demonstrate why we were asking. We were pretty much informed that as we had been warned about this in on the listing we needed to pay in cash, this was her rule and how it’s done and threatened to kick us out and call the police (me, husband, parents and 4 month old baby-charming) if we didn’t give her the cash.
Eventually we had no option so we paid and got a receipt and our deposit was returned upon checkout. It was a very sour experience leaving us dreading having to contact her when the safe broke and not looking forward to her return to get our deposit back. Such a shame as the property was lovely.
