My partner and I had 3 weeks in Elvira's wonderful home right in the middle of Alaro. The house was wonderfully located within walking distance of the town square with some wonderful restaurants. From the rear of the house there are wonderful views of the mountains behind Alaro. The house is generously proportioned and it became a home away from home for us. The back yard has a couple of beautiful lime trees and a great bbq for great outdoor meals. The kitchen was well equipped so that you could indulge in cooking the fresh produce from the markets. The lounge had very comfy sofas and access to a full range of TV stations. The wifi was simple and fast and the house was just a dream to be in. The linen and the beds were very comfortable and Elvira even provided beach towels for those trips to the beach. We were on a cycling holiday and Planet Cycles is just 3 mins from the house where you can get wonderful tips on rides and meet other cyclists. Alaro is wonderfully positioned with the flat centre of the island on one side and spectacular mountains on the other - the whole mountain area is world heritage listed. It is a perfect place for relaxing, cycling and hiking - the hike up to Alaro Castle should not be missed. We did not meet Elvira but she was always very responsive to our messages and from time to time she checked to make sure we were ok - we loved staying at this house and are keen to return. The neighbourhood and the village are absolutely lovely and the locals extremely friendly. We highly recommend this home.
