Finca la cigarra

It's a lovely house with everything you could need, and a great base for relaxing or exploring nearby. The owners are warm, helpful, and attentive to the details. I'll be back soon.

I'm writing this so other travelers know what our stay was like. We arrived to find the water heater unplugged, leaving us with completely cold showers. The house has only one air conditioning unit for the whole property, and it was quite hot while we were there, though we had accepted that beforehand. We also had no electricity until the next day, so we couldn't really enjoy our stay and the refrigerators weren't working. The owner said she would compensate us for the inconvenience, but we never received anything. Someone in our group caused damage, which we acknowledged from the start and paid for without any issue as soon as the owner asked. I later asked for invoices for the stay and the repair. She said she would send them, but even after several reminders, they never came.

The five days were a disaster. I just wanted to leave. It was unbearably hot inside, almost like the heating was running. The air conditioning was broken, even though they tell you it's there when you book. Every mosquito net was torn, outlets were covered with tape, and there were cobwebs everywhere. The pool was the only halfway decent thing, but even its water was cloudy.

We had a hard time leaving after an unforgettable few days. There were six adults and five children, and everyone had space in this huge, comfortable, well-maintained estate. The pool area was the highlight, with a bar, oven, barbecue, and wonderful views. Sunsets from the pool were a real treat, and watching sunrise from the porch felt like a privilege. The company was five-star, and the location was magnificent. The only things we missed were basic cleaning supplies, toiletries, and a coffee bar. We'd definitely return!
