Amazing location, really rural and unspoiled. Easy walk to town centre and beach. Plenty to see and do. We spent many days just staying around the house - the grounds, river, swimming pool and hot tub were all great. Some of the furniture and fixtures and fittings are a bit tired, but perfectly serviceable.

The villa is ideal for a family get together, it accommodated 16 of us, 9 adults and 7 children. There was lots of outside space, beautiful grounds, and lots of activities to entertain the children. It is near to the coast with pretty seaside villages and good restaurants. The villa itself is in need of a little TLC which in a way lessened the worry of accidental damage by 7 children. Bedding etc spotless, pool very safe for children, less appealing to adults, and all in all we had a wonderful time. One word of warning, do not hire a large car, the access is very very narrow and I mean very very narrow. It is walled all the way down and there is literally inches either side. We managed ok until the last day and scraped 2 cars, we had extra insurance so fortunately it didn’t cost us.

We stayed at the River House with a group of 16 young guys in the age between 20 and 23. The house is absolutly perfect for relaxing holidays with a lot of possibilities for activities! Cycling, Canoe, Volleyball, Pool ... it was never boring! The highlight was the whirlpool we used every evening. The distance to the beach by bike is about 10-15 minutes, absolutly ok, the beach is great, gooy waves for surfing and not too much tourists. For us it was no problem to celebrate in the evening at the house, there were no complanations by neighbours etc. The House owner Manuel is absolute uncomplicated and reliable, for example he gave us more bikes so that we had enough for the group. All an all a great accomodation for young groups who like a mix between an activating and relaxing holiday trip!
