Guest House Torre de Arriba

The landscape around Torre de Arriba is truly magnificent, and the chalet kitchen was very well equipped for cooking all kinds of dishes. But the accommodation’s poor quality didn’t match the price, and we were disappointed by several things during our three days there in August. We paid for late check-in because we’d arrive in the evening, yet nobody was there to welcome us. Instead, we collected the key from a coded box. The power went out on the first evening, and we didn’t understand why. At 6 a.m. the next morning, an alarm connected to the cabin’s roof solar panels woke us. A friendly elderly person handles the accommodation’s technical problems, but they’re left to manage everything alone. The living room air conditioning wasn’t enough to cool the chalet, so spring or winter might be more comfortable. The pool needs more regular cleaning, as there was a lot of sediment on the bottom. The road in is rather dangerous, so it’s better to have a 4x4 and be an experienced driver. Finally, an item of value went missing on our last day. We had to leave, but asked the owner to let us know if it turned up. We never got a reply.
