La Cuadra Finca El Calabrés

We had the pleasure of staying here for 4 days. The apartment is situated ,behind an electric gate,on the outskirts of Agüimes and has the feel of being out in the country. There are noises of animals that are in surrounding areas, but we found that part of the charm. There is a beautiful horse above the property, too. The property itself was lovely and extremely well presented. The bed was extremely comfortable, basic cooking stuff , washing machine and a very good shower. Although it had a large tv we didn't have time to watch it. There is a pool, however because it was out of season it was empty. We were met by Heriberto ( the host) who showed us around the property, he provided washing liquid (for washing machine), a range of toiletries including toothbrushes and toothpaste. There were a few snacks on the side and some beers in the fridge. He was welcoming and friendly and asked if we wanted him to show us the area. After we had a rest we met up with him and he drove us around the town pointing out places for us. He dropped us off at the restaurant of out choice and after a lovely meal we walked the short distance back to the apartment, he also messaged us the following day just to check everything was OK.

The Host was the BEST

We had an amazing time, the property is brilliant. Great size, in a lovely location just outside the town, easy walk to enjoy the lovely shops and restaurants .Heriberto was an amazing host, who went out of his way to make us feel comfortable. Don't pass up the chance to stay here.

Quiet place with excellent hospitality with a very welcome package of local starter food and coffee and fruits. When you are lying down in the bed you can see through the window's the palm trees' leaf waving to you. Within a short walk you can reach the old town center with traditional tavernas and shops. And if the Ocean is too much to you can have a rest in the private pool.

Nothing.

Peace, air-conditioning, kitchenette. The host very kind

A few facts that I would have appreciated to know before booking this property. Property is in countryside, meaning very dirty access road and unpleasant smell from surrounding properties, such as pigsty located just across the street, which makes it impossible to enjoy the time in the garden or little swimming pull (5 nights in November). It is a comfortable studio with almost everything you need for short stay, however I encountered important hygiene concerns which, surely, Heriberto already took care of. The host, Heriberto is very kind and always willing to help . Another suggestion I would make to the host is to renew the stock of bed sheets and towels. Overall, this is not a bad choice for short stays, with condition that the hygiene issue is solved.

We loved that this property had all the facilities to feel comfortable and at home. The properly is located in a small sweet town/village with the most lovely people.

A farm house type property, at the outskirts of Agüimes. Private parking. Good value.

I like Heriberto, the owner; very polite, ready to help and make our vacation comfortable.

La Cuadra was comfortable and clean, the fridge was well stocked and its contents lasted all wee, which was a huge bonus - thank you! The location was excellent; private, secluded and quiet yet a short walk from the town of Agüimes. The surroundings were rural and really enjoyable. The pool was marvelous; clean and welcoming after a day walking in the stunning landscapes of Gran Canaria. The resident dogs were friendly and a lot of fun. We had a very enjoyable stay and highly recommend the finca for those looking for something unique away from the tourist hotspots of the coast.

There was nothing we didn't like.

Nice location, right out of town but walking distance. Dogs of the owner are a lovely addition, if you line pets. They and other ones around might be noisy from time to time. It did not bother us but might be important to know for someone else. Heriberto is a really nice host, always available and can give you as many suggestions as you wish, about the area!

The location was good but it was hard to find as the photo in the advertisement shows a green door with the name of the property on it. In fact there is no name on the green door and there is at least one other green door in that road.

We enjoyed our stay at this Finca but as the owner does not live very close by, you have to be self-reliant in many ways. A manual giving information of the electrical appliances, shower, heating and cooker should be there in the event of a problem. Our power cut out at one point and we had to wait for the owner to come and reconnect the power circuit. There were 3 of the owners dogs in the compound which was integral to the Finca and where we stayed. We felt that the responsibility of making sure the dogs did not run away or not return once the main Finca gate had been opened by us to exit every day with our car, was onerous. We also felt that there were a number of kitchen and living room utensils that were missing and should have been provided, as a matter of course. Being the winter season, the Finca itself was cold with no heating in the main area, bedroom or bathroom. The owner did recognise this and provided us with one but it should have been there on arrival. The hot tub outside was not operational so we did not get to use this advertised facility.
