The nice house is on one level
The nice house is on one level. It is conveniently laid out and it has excellent beds. The owner is nice and solves problems as quickly as possible. It is very quiet and secluded and you hear many different birds. Lovely swimming pool. It is easily accessible via a paved road.
Really enjoyed our stay. You overlook mountains, almost a 360 view, could also see the sea in the distance. At night you have a wonderful view of the the stars. The pool was good not too small.The only down side of the location is that you would find it a tad difficult to drive at night as there are no street lamps and the road up is winding and quite narrow. Apart from that we had a lovely time nice and quite and its only mins drive to the beach!!

Villa el Barco
The villa was the perfect fit for us, lovely and clean, quiet and private. Whilst it doesn't have A/C in the bedrooms, the ceiling fan is extremely effective and very, very quiet, so A/C isn't required, (probably the quietness fan I have ever known)! The road up to the villa is steep and narrow, but this meant there were very few cars, which was excellent.
Having a second front door key to the key safe to prevent being locked out.
The nicest villa we’ve stayed in, so clean and spacious. The pool and views are amazing!

Villa el Barco
Villa el Barco is private, situated in a really quiet location. The nice thing for us was the close proximity to the beach, the nearby towns and of course the villa and it's lovely swimming pool.
One little thing that could be improved is the key situation. There is always the worry you will lock yourself out! Also, maybe some larger bath towels.

Everything except the toilet.
Make people aware that the toilet can not take loo roll and that you have to use a bin. This could be improved.
The swimming pool filter got clogged with dead flys, when in pool flys would wash out of filter ports. Maybe a mid week clean of the filters would be a good idea.
A gate across the steps leading to the underneath of the swimming pool for safety of young children.
Install smoke alarm.

Villa El Banco
The villa is very peaceful, being situated in the mountains and provides privacy for the guests. We had a small issue with the shower and this was sorted out immediately .
A couple of minor points, more than two bin liners/dishwasher tablets would be welcome. Also, provide some plastic cups to use around the pool would be good idea.

Perfect communicatie altijd bereikbaar.
Mooi uitzicht heel rustig omgeving. Beetje buiten de stad. Maar perfect locatie voor rust, zonder verkeer overlast. Lekker zwembad, ruime keuken. Kortom aanrader voor iedereen. Gedeon.
Wunderschönes Ferienhaus inmitten von Avocado Plantagen. Sehr ruhige Umgebung. Gepflegtes Haus mit guter Ausrüstung.Gewürze und Kohle für den Grill sollte man selber mitbringen

Muy buena experiencia
Nos ha gustado toda la villa, lo que más su localización
Pondría un pomo en la puerta por fuera para que se pudiese abrir y cerrar tanto desde dentro como desde fuera y no tener el riesgo de quedarnos sin poder entrar por que se cierre.
Diese Villa ist einfach herrlich. Kann man nur empfehlen. Auch die Company war immer erreichbar. Tolle Leute. Ein bisschen schwierig ist der Weg zur Finca. Aber ein paar mal fahren und es klappt. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen
Der Aufenthalt war fantastisch.
Tolles Haus ,toller Pool , tolle Lage.
Gerne wieder

Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Woche in der Unterkunft. Alles sauber, der Pool war perfekt und eine super Aussicht. Die Straße zur Unterkunft war sehr steil und nichts für schwache Nerven. Man gewöhnt sich nach 1-2 Tagen aber daran
