Casa Rural La Posada

The price is affordable, but the house feels neglected. The yard was left untended, and although there were sticks for the fireplace, there was nothing to get them going, so we had to go to Zafra for firelighters. Hot water ran out so quickly we couldn't even shower properly. Acceptable, but we wouldn't choose it for a weekend.

The bed was very comfortable, and the house wasn't bad, but the help we got came with little information about the place or what to see nearby. The included breakfast was only a few Lidl bags of muffins and croissants plus a couple of milk cartons. They seemed to have spent €6 for the whole stay, when breakfast is usually around €6 per person per day. We also needed more towels and basic household supplies: no kitchen paper or cleaning cloths, few utensils, and a microwave that barely heated things. We went in winter and weren't cold, but the heat pump leaked by the windows and door. The bathroom stayed freezing with no way to warm it, the insulation was poor, and there was only one large blanket for the beds. Pets are allowed, though they specifically ask that you leave your dog in the patio.

Really cozy, with friendly service and a very warm welcome. Breakfast is included, and it's great value for the money.

We'd come from Cadiz and were left with nowhere to stay. After waiting 15 minutes for someone to show up and getting no answer when we called, we had to leave.
