Good and Not So Good
Firstly the location and views are absolutely superb. The village at the bottom of the hill (Cala Vincent) from the house is a real gem. The beach is idyllic, clean and surrounded by a selection of great restaurants.
The house itself is very big but is lacking some tender loving care. The living areas are nice and the kitchen is very well stocked with all the utensils you will need. The bedrooms are quite outdated but functional all the same. The house was not as clean in general as we would have liked. There was sand in one of the showers for instance. The outdoor areas are very nice but the outdoor furniture has seen better days. In most cases it is falling apart. Replacements here would definitely improve the experience. The pool is superb and nice and clean. I believe our booking was the first of the season and the house and outside area really did not seem to get the once over before we arrived.
A disappointment for us was the WiFi. In reality it was non existent. It would rarely work for phone or laptop. There seemed to be a data card in the router which may have run out. That may have caused the issue but neither Abdul nor my other contact were willing to help with this. That said Abdul is very friendly and assisted with clearing a blocked loo very quickly which was very much appreciated.
Overall; a superb location with great views and the town of Cala Vincent is fabulous. It is 5 minutes down the hill but that is by car. To walk takes about 30 minutes down and 40 minutes back up. Great views to enjoy on this walk all the same!!
The house and outside areas could do with a little TLC and updating but it is quite functional.
We very much enjoyed our stay here but were a little disappointed this wonderful house wasn't presented a little better and cleaner.
All that said I would still highly recommend a stay here.
