We absolutely loved our 11 days at this fantastic place - a gem away from the hustle and bustle tourist areas. The main attraction of Miguel’s place is the amazing garden with the serene pool. We stayed most days here - reading books, playing board games, swimming and enjoying the sun (and the shadow :-))
We were two adults and two teenagers - staying in the apartment and the pool house, respectively. Note that the place is not very suitable if you have kids that need you nearby during the night (our kids loved staying in their own “house” not having us nearby :-))
The apartment is in the main house above the rooms where Miguel lives with his partner. It has a large bedroom (with a large bed) a bathroom and a small “walk-through” living room (which we did not use as we stayed outside all day). Note that the “apartment” is part of the close to 800 year old house: an old stone staircase goes from Miguel’s part of the house up to the apartment - and the two parts of the house are separated by a heavy curtain/carpet. This also meant that we could sometimes hear music or smell cigarette smoke from below (not a problem in the bedroom, though). There is a roofed patio in front of the apartment - from which you can see the sea in the distance.
The pool house consists of a living area with a sofa bed, a small tea kitchen (incl. two cooking plates, fridge and freezer) and a bathroom. Outside there was a shaded terrace - overlooking the pool and garden - which is where we spent most days.
There is a nice barbecue area next to the pool house as well.
Both the apartment and the pool house are decorated with respect for the age and history of the house - and Miguel’s visual flair is very evident. You should not expect luxury in “a modern sense” - the luxury of this place lies in the esthetic details and the fantastic pool and garden areas.
There are some nice (and not so touristy) restaurants within short walking distance.
Miguel is a fantastic and kind host and an inspiring artist.
If you are looking for a quiet place a little “away from it all”, we can highly recommend this place!
