NO HOT WATER.
This house is hosted by a large company (5Star homes)
We arrived and phoned as requested and we’re told we could check in immediately. When we arrived at the villa there were no keys in the key box. We had to wait 2 hrs on the street until someone arrived with the keys. It’s was clear that the house had been locked up for quite some time - and we were the first guests in a while. Indoor furniture was all inside, dust sheets on the furniture. The owners did spend a few hours cleaning and sorting the garden on the first day.
However it soon became apparent that there was no hot water. (Boiler was broken) We reported this on the first day of our holiday. Everyday they said they would fix it however it took them 4 days, to give them credit the owners (who are not the hosts) did work hard to try and fix jt - I’m not sure it could have been done quicker. It was April and relatively cold. It meant we couldn’t swim without knowing we could come home and wash. 5 star homes promised a refund however stopped responding to my messages. Eventually I got some money back through air bnb although was difficult as hot water isnot listed as an amenity.
The property is very close to the beach. Plenty of space for bikes and great location for cycling. It is large inside and rooms are spacious. You can park outside. It is old and the furnishings reflect this however is mostly very functional. Only get one small pillow per person and some of the beds are potentially past there best.
The outdoor area is lovely - although is overlooked by about 150 balconies from next doors hotel. The pool was dirty and has ducks that swam in it every morning. There is an outside BBQ which is nice. Heating is “provided” by 2 small electric heaters - so don’t travel here in cooler months
Also be aware you have to pay a local tax (normal practice in Spain) however this was not mentioned in the booking and should have been.
Overall, this is expensive for the dated property. We did have a bad experience and I hope they have resolved there issue and you don’t. Just be aware of what you are paying for.
