Casas Rurales Villa Vicenta

It was pretty creepy, neglected, and dirty. The pool is tiny and shared, something they don't mention, and there are animals with a constant smell. There was noise day and night, so getting any rest was impossible. Bring earplugs if you go. I'd also bring your own sheets and towels, since what they provide are like hospital towels. Honestly, it seemed cleaner after we left than when we arrived. 0% recommended.

The shared pool, jacuzzi, animals, hammocks, and chill-out sofas give you plenty of places to spend time, and the hours are extended. The cushions and tables could use more attention, though. They get dirty with bird droppings, and the bottom of the jacuzzi should be cleared of insects and debris before guests arrive. Inside, it's a good affordable country house for a group of friends, with lots of bedrooms, several renovated bathrooms, an open-plan living room and kitchen, and two refrigerators. There's also a patio with a private barbecue and a large table. The main thing missing is knives for barbecue meat or for cutting bread and cheese.

We used every bed in both houses over the weekend, and the photos really don't show how things are. Outside, the neglected tables, chairs, and barbecue areas were all dirty. Indoors, the houses were filthy, as if they hadn't been cleaned in ages. Some mattresses were very old, and the beds creaked. The bathrooms weren't clean either. One shower flooded, so we had to clean it ourselves, pulling a lot of hair out of the clogged drain.

Want to get stung while surrounded by wasps in a tiny prefabricated pool? This is the place. The house was a disaster, dirty and broken, and the shared areas were in awful shape. A terrible stay, and we're never coming back.
