Casa Mercedes, Tamaimo

A superb home, with a great personality and decorations, feeling very "at home", old and nice objects, kitchen well equipped, we cooked and enjoyed dinner with friends, quiet garden and a small and cosy terrace to enjoy a small talk.

As the weather was rainy and rather cold those days (10-12C), it seems that the villa is not ready to cope with this, as the small heaters were unable to make warm before sleep, the high humidity did not help either, so was quite challenging for the first nights. Hopefully there were some extra sheets so we could use dry covers and make it liveable.

The traditional character of the property

Hervorragende Lage und über Booking Nachrichten sehr gut erreichbarer und betreuender Gastgeber. Unterkunft hat gute Grundausstattung Küche (inkl. Ofen). Umgebung (Tamaimo) ist angenehm klein mit vielen "Einheimischen" plus hat für uns gut und genügend Infrastruktur: zwei kleine Supermärkte, Geldautomat, Farmacia, Tankstelle. Netter windgeschützter Garten (leicht "versenkt") am Haus. Gute Dusche (ausreichend und lange warmes Wasser).

Steinboden (wie in südlichen Ländern üblich) fußkalt - nächstes Mal Haus-Schuhe/-Sandalen mitnehmen. Waren im März da - mussten deshalb die beiden 2 kW Lüfter oft laufen lassen. Für beides kann Vermieter nix. Bei den Küchenfenster hat es Spalt und Einfachverglasung. Eine Lampe über den Wohn-Küchen-Zimmer Tisch wäre nach Sonnenuntergang schön. Kleinkram, dennoch vielleicht was bei nächster Renovierung.

That we were on our own and not overlooked. The apartment was spacious. The rental company were very good and efficient and always answered WhatsApp queries very quickly.

The house and 2 single beds were very damp. Our clothes got damp too. Chair slats were broken, 2 outside plastic chairs broken. The covers on the sofas bunch up each time you sit down. Could have been better cutlery and knives. Smaller saucepans are needed, there are only huge ones available, and a baking dish. It was also hard to read in the evening due to lack of lamps. Could only have one short shower at a time as the water got cold. The toilet brush and holder are awful and you can't get it out of the holder without touching it. The outside wooden bannisters are very rickety and unstable, there is a nail in the top banister we kept catching our hands on. You have a very windy and steep drive up or down wherever you go. Tamaimo itself has nothing going for it at all.
