This is a stunning location if you like being remote and quiet. There are amazing views with the sound of peacocks from the local nature reserve. It is completely private and undisturbed. The house is well designed and comfortable. We had a good stay in fantastic weather but not sure how it would be in bad weather. There were some downsides.
1. Road to house - lots of people suggest you need to hire a 4 x 4. We had a Qashqai but nonetheless damaged the underneath of our car with an oil leak as there are deep potholes in the road. Fortunately we discovered this in town and had the car replaced easily but if this had been at the house it would have been difficult. This left us feeling anxious about driving up and down especially at night - although we are not impractical or nervous people. As a result we left the house two days early to stay elsewhere. So to avoid this get a 4 x 4 although this is expensive. It would have helped if Jorge had shown us the potholes - instead he drove quite fast up the road not showing how to navigate the very bad sections.
2. Maintenance - the house is lovely and the setting is stunning. However it did feel neglected - windows dirty, plants in tubs dead, tiles on the verandah broken, umbrella a bit rickety, wooden framing on the terrace needs repair. Inside the house the towel rail is very unstable. The grass on the terrace is a bit haphazard.
3. Amenities - the house is spacious and well designed and clean, no mice and floors, kitchen, bathroom all clean and equipped. The solar power worked perfectly well for us and was not a problem. BUT - there is no washing machine. We found rubbish from previous occupants under the sink. There are minimal towels especially as there is a swimming pool, only one tea towel. Not sufficient bed linen e.g. no pillowcases for the second pillow. Blankets were not terribly clean. Also the lighting in the house is very low level.
4. Jorge was extremely pleasant and helpful and responded very well to queries beforehand. He was charming and friendly and there was no problem meeting him in the town when we arrived. He showed us round the house explaining about solar power etc. It would nonetheless have been helpful to have had some written instructions in the house - this would have saved us bothering him e.g. about how to clean the pool. He also responded to our request for an iron. However we found he became less responsive as time went on.
