Casa del Abuelo

The patio was the highlight for our group of 24. We had a great time there and spent most of the weekend outside. We also appreciated the curb cut at the entrance: my disabled daughter could use her wheelchair throughout the ground floor without encountering barriers. Some smaller issues were that the TV remotes had no batteries, the Wi-Fi was weak around the house, and there wasn’t much kitchenware despite having three kitchens. The BBQ was the biggest letdown. It was small and dirty, with no tongs or even a fire poker, so we didn’t use it. The entrance is at street level beside a very narrow sidewalk, which felt a bit risky with children. We locked the door from inside and kept an eye out, and it wasn’t a problem for us. The mattresses seem to have been replaced recently. I slept in two different beds and didn’t feel the springs in either.

We rented the entire house and everyone was happy with it. It was clean, the beds were comfortable, and we all felt at ease. We had no problems, and the owner is lovely. The place is wheelchair accessible, which suited our nephew perfectly.

We paid half the rent in advance, and since our group of 20 didn’t all arrive together, we asked the owner to come back in an hour for the rest of the payment and the check-in forms. She chose to come the next day. I don’t know why she speaks as though we owed her something. The way a host welcomes you can make a big difference, but from the first minute the owner created a bad atmosphere. In front of the children, she said a group of vandals banged on the windows at night and told us to call the Civil Guard if anything happened, as a last resort because she lived far away. The children were frightened, and the adults spent the night worrying about the mattresses and looking after the little ones. We didn’t sleep at all. The other times we saw her, most of what she said was unpleasant, especially after we told her the mattresses were unbearable. We’re definitely not going back.

A lovely, well-equipped house that’s kept very clean and in excellent condition. There are three kitchens, three dining rooms, several bathrooms, and bedrooms for up to 24 people. It works for groups or for renting individual rooms. Highly recommended.
