Casa ben ristrutturata con dotazioni semplici e funzionali. Abbiamo molto apprezzato la cortesia del sig. Rino che ci ha accolto e si è reso disponibile e pronto a dare risposta ad ogni nostra richiesta.

Ich war eine Woche mit meiner Tochter in diesem schönen Häuschen in einem wunderschönen alten Bergdorf Posada. Das Haus ist klein, aber genauso wie es auf den Fotos abgebildet ist. Wer gern einen individuellen Urlaub macht ist hier genau richtig aufgehoben. Die Sitzgelegenheit vor der Tür ist perfekt, es ist sehr idyllisch und authentisch. Wir haben dort jeden Morgen gefrühstückt und unsere Abende dort beim Weinchen verbracht. Der Kontakt Vorort hat super geklappt, das Ehepaar aus dem Restaurant war sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Das Essen im Restaurant war ebenfalls seeehr lecker und es passte Preis/Leistung. Der Strand war uns fußläufig bei 33 Grad ein bisschen weit, wir sind mit dem Auto gefahren, der war zwar kostenpflichtig aber für uns war das ok. Ich würde jederzeit wiederkommen, die Woche haben wir uns jetzt fest eingeplant, allerdings könnte ich auch 2 oder 3 Wochen bleiben, so schön ist es. Was die besagte Hauswand betrifft, uns hat sie nicht gestört, ist eben nicht alles perfekt und das ist gut so. Einziges Manko ist vielleicht die Sache mit der Müllentsorgung vor Abreise, schade dass es nicht irgendwo noch Müllcontainer gibt

Pulizia: la casa era pulita e dotata di tutto il necessario (stoviglie, moka, asciugamani, lenzuola, tappetino doccia, phon, inoltre erano a disposizione anche tè e spezie e detersivi) Peccato che fin da subito siamo stati costretti a fare il triplo dell’attenzione nel lasciare qualsiasi cosa sul piano della cucina.. le formiche sbucavano da sotto il piano. Più volte ho pulito a fondo evitando di lasciare briciole e alimenti ma puntualmente le formiche tornavano; sono arrivate fino in bagno. Peccato! Posizione: per quanto riguarda la distanza dalle varie spiagge devo dire che la posizione è ottima, in circa 15-20 min puoi raggiungere molte zone diverse. Inoltre il parcheggio vicino al paese è molto comodo per lasciare la macchina.. invece, devo dire che raggiungere la casa a piedi non è stato il massimo della comodità, essendo la strada in salita e con un bel po’ di scalini. Gestore: Rino ci ha ben accolto, è sempre stato disponibile con noi a qualsiasi ora del giorno e della sera, nonostante i piccoli inconvenienti con lo scaldabagno (che inizialmente perdeva e impiegava molto tempo per scaldare l’acqua) e le formiche. Siamo rimasti solo un po’ delusi dalla poca trasparenza sul prezzo da pagare per la pulizia della casa (+ asciugamani e lenzuola) poiché sul sito c’era scritto che erano compresi e al telefono il signor Rino ci aveva precedentemente confermato ciò. Una volta arrivati in loco, invece, ci ha subito detto che dovevamo pagare 60€ per questo servizio. Ci è dispiaciuto perché non potevamo controbattere, in quanto la descrizione sul sito era stata cambiata. Ci è sembrato poco carino.
