Casa Rural La Escallada

The house is beautiful and spacious, and if it had matched the photos, I wouldn't be writing this. Instead, the garden, its furniture, the facade, and the windows were badly neglected. We thought we'd been scammed when we couldn't reach the person meant to meet us. After a very unpleasant wait, we got hold of Gerardo and were able to enter. Inside, it was the same story: dirty and neglected, with insect remains on the sheets and dilapidated furniture. After talking with Gerardo, who was polite, we agreed on a full refund. We found somewhere else to stay and left. As I told him by phone, the condition of the house and the trouble of traveling there were unacceptable. The refund was processed, but a low-quality property shouldn't be offered at a good-quality price. The rural homes I've stayed in over the past few years have all been far better for cleanliness, upkeep, and attention to detail. I hope this helps the owner improve the property and leads to positive reviews. Otherwise, they're doomed to fail and will have no excuse.

We were eight in the family and had a comfortable weekend. The house was clean and cozy, and although there are things that could be improved, I didn't have the sort of experience described in some other reviews. It's a recommendable place, comfortable without anything particularly noteworthy.

There are four bedrooms, and the place is spacious and quiet. But it's deteriorated over time, and the lack of maintenance shows, which is a shame. The house was dirty, with a musty smell, lots of dust, and cobwebs. There's only one bathroom downstairs, and the shower is broken, so only the bathtub works.
