Positive Reviews
positive:
Lovely atmosphere and outlook
While guests did have some issues when it came to the details, the general look of the house, and especially the outlook from it, were said to make a very good first impression. It seems that guests could truly feel at peace in the lovely and tranquil atmosphere.
positive:
Nice spa area
Though reviews were a bit mixed, the majority seemed to have really enjoyed the spa facilities, as well as the treatments offered. The heated indoor pool was especially appreciated when the weather outside turned a little chilly.
positive:
No (other) tourists in sight
Several guests mentioned that the area the hotel is in does not really attract many foreign tourists. In addition to the peace and quiet that resulted, they also felt that the atmosphere was more authentically Spanish.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Very poor Wi-Fi
There were absolutely no positive views expressed about the hotel's Wi-Fi. It was said to be limited in scope, not really working in the rooms, and even near the router would provide a very poor connection indeed.
negative:
In need of significant renovations
Several guests said, in effect, that while they liked the general look and atmosphere of the house, when looking at the level of the details there were numerous aspects that needed major work to get it a reasonable standard. In their mind the house needed a major renovation.
negative:
Breakfast quite poor
It was near impossible to find a good word written about the breakfast offered. It was described as poor to begin with, consisting of poor quality ingredients, and tended to be the same thing every day, leading to boredom over the course of a stay.
