Bungalow with pool, gardens and lake.

The Internet was being very spotty so Humberto brought me a wifi signal booster and all was solved.

I enjoyed the stay in the property. It is quiet, picturesque. The property has everything I have expected to find.It was cold to stay at nights, used 3 blankets.The only disadvantage is that the bungalow is abt. 7-10km from the centre of A

Wow! Value for money! Lovely entrance drive with mature palms, only three letting units and not all occupied in April/May. Swimming pool to ourselves. Lovely garden setting! We couldn't get in immediately as the tall grass was being strimmed by the 'gardener'. When allowed in there was no electricity. Eventually the owner told the 'gardener' by phone to try the fuse box. He found all the switches in the OFF position. When visitors arrive by plane and hire car (absolutely vital for this cabin), the first thing they do is shop for food if the premises are self-catering, including fridge and freezer items. Hirers expect a fridge and freezer to be ON; otherwise their food will thaw. Milk might become unusable, etc. If a property is advertised with those features they should be available from the start. If arrival is stated as from 4pm then the property should be available for access then, not 4:30pm with a gardener warning visitors not to come near due to stones flying from a strimmer. The pool had leaves on the bottom and leaves and bits on the surface. There was a net so I spent an hour skimming the water and going deep to catch all the leaves. I enjoyed that, but if a pool is advertised then it should be usable. Having said all that, it was a brilliant 8 days because it was so private. The chalet/cabin was small with space at a premium, but we expected that. Well appointed; a veranda with wooden seats & table, plus plastic chairs/table with a garden bar-b-q.

Overall the chalet is in a poor condition.Ripped seating,dirty marks everywhere, surface rust on bathroom metal work,blind missing in kitchen.The bbq needs condemning(i went to the supermarket and bought a rack so i could use it)The wifi was virtually non existent(worked here and there but never more than an hour at a time)The bedrooms are very,very tight.None of the pay per view satellite channels worked.The surrounding noise was consistent, be it the people below revving engines,the construction silo opposite or the non stop dogs barking,and i mean at 3 in the morning for hours on end. The chalet is just to far from anything,virtually non existent public transport so its drive everywhere, was a small bar within a 10 minute walk,good luck working out the opening hours.I should have read more of the reviews before booking,lesson learnt. On the plus side,the owner communicated well,the heating worked perfectly as did the fridge/freezer.
