It is beautiful and picturesque and quiet. The decor is lovely. The lady who handles the cleaning and general running of the property is wonderfully upbeat and friendly. It is a beautiful mixture of rustic and modern. It has a shop and that shop is a large box with all sorts of essentials and you just write down what you've bought and pop the money in a jar. It's very clever and I found it very useful. The outside terrace is beautiful and tranquil.

The shower has a very small reservoir so showers have to be quick. The shower cubicle is quite small so you frequently bash the tap that extends to turn on, this means you occasionally roast yourself or freeze yourself simply by moving around. On my first shower I was very impressed with the water pressure but that comes with two problems, 1 the hot water runs out very quickly and 2 the shower head popped off leaving me with the hose that was squirting water with incredible pressure wiggling everywhere like mad where everything (even the ceiling) got wet before I got the hose under control again hahaha. The whole experience was very funny but taught me not to put the pressure on full. Morning coffee is not included and you buy coffee pods that are quite cheap 50c from the little included shop. The problem was I couldn't find them because they're in a jar amongst all sorts of other products. Fortunately a friendly neighbour gave me some coffee. The internet is a bit complicated. You have to locate a box and a dresser in the entrance and that has the internet box in it. It's a small cardboard box that is unmarked. You then have to plug the internet box in somewhere and then once that is done you can use the included card to connect to the internet. It's very easy to do I just didn't understand the process when I first got there. Lastly, and this is the big one, it's at the top of a very steep hill. Walking from the centre of town back to the house is quite an experience. It's very steep and quite a journey, you have to have a good set of legs on you to get up the steps and those steep slopes. You can drive to the town centre but it's a very long drive along a very windy road in the wrong direction for 1.5 km and then you drive back into town so it is possible. Google maps will tell you to park at the bottom of that hill, do not listen to Google maps! Listen to Jose and Park at the top of the hill because you can.
