Location on a beautiful island Kitchen was well provided

Noisy neighbours Rattling blinds

Das Haus verfügt im 1. OG über drei Schlafzimmer mit je einem Doppelbett. Zwei Schlafzimmer gehen nach hinten hinaus und teilen sich ein Badezimmer. Das andere Schlafzimmer geht nach vorne hinaus und verfügt über eine Terrasse und ein eigenes Badezimmer. Im EG befinden sich Küche, Wohnzimmer mit Essbereich sowie eine Toilette. Die Küche ist super ausgestattet und alles war sehr sauber. In der Garage sind Waschmaschine und Wäscheleinen. Wir würden von Jose herzlich empfangen und von Aline bei Fragen wunderbar während des Aufenthalts betreut. Die Besitzerin Elena ist nicht vor Ort, hat aber immer schnell per Messenger auf unsere Nachrichten reagiert. Nur 5 Minuten zu Fuß befindet sich ein Chiringuito am Strand, wo man herrliche Sonnenuntergänge genießen kann. Wir haben uns wirklich sehr wohlgefühlt.

The arrival and departure were very well handled by Aline. The mattresses were comfortable, there was ample hot water and there was plenty of crockery, pots and pans and cutlery.

As others have mentioned, the blinds in one bedroom rattle quite a lot. Keeping them fully raised solved the problem, although that means the room gets light early, so an eye mask is worth bringing. Sound also travels very easily through the walls from next door. The neighbours were not having parties or being unreasonable, but seemed to keep very late hours and, because the walls are so thin, we could hear them clearly. There is also a house behind the property with two large dogs which bark frequently, day and night. We ended up buying earplugs so that we could sleep. There were also a number of smaller details which did not ruin our stay, but contributed to our feeling that the property was not good value for money. The shower drains slowly, so you are quickly standing in ankle deep water. In the main bedroom, there is a double mattress on a king size frame, so the mattress moves around. The oversized frame also blocks some of the light switches and sockets. On one side of the bed you can either have the bedside lamp plugged in with nowhere to charge a phone, or charge your phone but have to get out of bed to switch the light on. We were also surprised by the number of ants in the main bedroom and ensuite. A few other things worth knowing: the kitchen does not have a kettle or functioning toaster, and beach towels are not provided. The sofa is very upright, rather like sitting on a bus seat, so is not particularly comfortable for relaxing. Although we would not expect air con in Galicia, during a hot summer the bedrooms can become quite warm. There are no ceiling or floor fans and no mosquito screens on the windows, so opening the windows at night to cool the rooms comes with a fairly high chance of being bitten. None of these things individually would have been a major issue, and the property was perfectly adequate, but taken together they meant that, for us, the overall standard did not justify the price.
