Well equipped and very clean accommodation. Very nice view (even if the power station does not appear in the photos in the ad). Swimming pool, sunny and protected from the wind. Very nice home. The terrace is very good for the good season when it is hot. It was a little cool during our stay and, as it is in the shade, we barely used the terrace. Very quiet place.

Das Objekt hat anfürsich für einen erholsamen Urlaub alles zu bieten. Man kann stundenlang sich am schönen Pool austoben. In der Unterkunft gibt es in jedem Zimmer Klimaanlagen. Des Weiteren hat man seine Ruhe. Keine störenden Nachbarn etc. Ich habe mich allerdings an der Zufahrt (Bergstraße) gestört. Außerdem sind die umliegenden Straßen, die zu den anderen Dörfern bzw. Städten führen, ebenfalls sehr eng. Wenn man sich daran nicht stört, dann gibt es nichts auszusetzen.

Wir hatten ein paar schöne Tage im Haus. Der Pool, die Terrasse und die Aussicht sind fantastisch! Der Ort ist abgelegen, was ihn zu etwas Besonderem macht, aber beim Einkaufen etwas unpraktisch ist. Eine Flasche Wasser bei der Ankunft wäre schön gewesen, ebenso wie einige Grundausstattungen wie ausreichend Müllsäcke und Spülmittel. Es gibt auch einige Küchenutensilien, die sich leicht auffüllen lassen, etwa einige scharfe Messer und mehr Glaswaren. Die Badezimmer sind tatsächlich renovierungsbedürftig. Das Badezimmer mit Dusche ist extrem klein und das andere Badezimmer hat nur eine Badewanne, der Duschkopf funktionierte nicht und die Badewanne war aufgrund der nicht funktionierenden Düsen nicht bequem. Die Schlafzimmer waren schön und das Haus war super sauber. Der Gastgeber war auch sehr hilfsbereit. Alles in allem hatten wir einen schönen Aufenthalt!

Gut ausgestattete und sehr saubere Unterkunft. Sehr schöne Aussicht (auch wenn das Kraftwerk auf den Fotos in der Anzeige nicht zu sehen ist). Schwimmbad, sonnig und windgeschützt. Sehr schönes Haus. Die Terrasse eignet sich sehr gut für die schöne Jahreszeit, wenn es warm ist. Während unseres Aufenthalts war es etwas kühl und da es im Schatten liegt, haben wir die Terrasse kaum genutzt. Sehr ruhiger Ort.

Lunas Unterkunft war ausgezeichnet, sie war hilfsbereit und schickte nützliche Anweisungen und Informationen über die Gegend. Ich würde sagen, dass dem Haus einige wesentliche Elemente fehlen. Wir haben zum Beispiel extra Spülmittel und Müllbeutel gekauft, weil es keine gab. Für ein Landhaus wäre es sinnvoll gewesen, wenn Küche und Haus etwas besser ausgestattet wären, da der nächste Laden nur eine kurze Autofahrt entfernt liegt. Ansonsten hatten wir einen angenehmen Aufenthalt mit toller Aussicht.

The house was perfect and Luna (the guest host) was an absolute gem. We had everything we needed and were well situated in one of the most ideallic spots in El Chorro. It's a place you'd love to spend a week in.

We hebben enorm genoten van ons verblijf bij Luna. De weg naar het huisje toe is wat spannend maar het adembenemende uitzicht is het meer dan waard. Het huis ziet er précies zo uit als op de foto’s, het zwembad ziet er in het echt zelfs nog mooier uit. We zijn hier heerlijk een paar dagen tot rust gekomen tijdens onze roadtrip door Andalusië. Een echte aanrader!
