About the host
Hosted by Antonio Cruz
I live 6 minutes from the house and with the help of our wonderful maid, the gardener and Rosa we manage this small business. I am always within a phone call away to help in any way or to service the house. I lived 15 years in Canada in my early years so I speak English perfectly. I can also communicate very well in French and Spanish.
Why they chose this property
What makes this property unique
Incredible view, plants, flowers and green everywhere. The pool area and the entire house is a sun trap since it is facing south and protected from all winds. The house has huge windows and in the living room even the doors to the exterior are in glass. Our maid, Marilia, speaks english and keeps the house stopless and does the cleaning in the middle of your stay. Within 5-10 minute walk there are a couple of restaurants with a pleasant outside area away from any traffic where one can sit for hours or until late in the evening. While the village of Galamares is very quite, major shopping malls, train station and the freeway are less than 10 minutes away. Going the other direction the various beaches with numerous cafes and restaurants are less than 10 minures away. Rent a bike (or e-bike) and have it delivered to the house.
