"First and last time"

Translated from Spanish

Liked

The apartment was new, very well maintained and clean. The jacuzzi was great. There were two eggs in the fridge for breakfast, but no bread, as I had been told. The coffee creamer was expired and hard. There was no sugar or sweetener.

Disliked

The steep, winding hills leading there are so dangerous; it's a heart-stopping road... I didn't like it at all, and the place greets you with a massive hill and another curve 🫩🥴🥴 as soon as you arrive, requiring a good run-up. You can't go with a low-clearance car. The parking lot is much lower than the apartments, so going down to get things or luggage is a real ordeal, and it's exhausting going up and down. There are a lot of ants at night, which I know is in the mountains, but I think they could fumigate a bit to reduce their numbers. It gets very cold at night, so don't rely on wearing light clothing. If you need a supermarket, you have to walk quite a way. The closest one is a small grocery store at the bottom of that huge hill, but it doesn't have much variety. The place itself isn't bad; what ruins it is the access, the stress, and that awful road with its dangerous curves and steep hills.

The kitchen

Disliked

Sheets with static cling. Use cotton sheets and do not tumble dry. Sheets generate static electricity.

Very nice location in the middle of nature. We arrived in the evening so it was quite dark but we were able to use both the natural pool and the hot tub. We got a lot of help from Sebastian who was very nice and showed us around and ordered pizza for us.

Disliked

A little difficult to get there without a car.
