The best feature of this property is the view which is stunning. Unfortunately we feel there are many issues which might concern future visitors.
Food, some of it in open containers had been left by previous guests. Bearing in mind the recent Covid epidemic this seemed to us to be unhygienic to say the least. On first entering, the kitchen looked clean but on closer inspection it was obvious a thorough wash and clean of all crockery, cutlery and other kitchenware was required. Dust was present in all bedrooms and one hand towel in the bathroom was filthy. During our 2 week stay there was no change to any of the towels or bed linen, these issues raised questions about the maintenance of cleaning operations in the villa. There are also minor problems associated with the electrical supply sockets in the property, which would probably lead to certification issues in the U.K. Although we had read that the owner lived on the ground floor of the property, the description said that he entered by an outside staircase, this was true but it failed to mention that he had to pass your kitchen window and kitchen door to get to the staircase once there he had to proceed downstairs which led onto your second balcony passing your bedroom windows in order to proceed down another flight of stairs before reaching his accommodation.
During our stay workmen arrived to fit a new door in the owners property, It was early and we had only just woken, all this was happening outside our bedroom window. We think at the very least it would have been curtious to ask if we minded and possibly a mutual time agreed, obviously privacy is an issue here.
The property next door is extremely close and appears to be devoid of sound insulation, which means the sounds produced by neighbours together with conversations could be easily overheard and we were disturbed on two evenings by late partying.
The area of Cerro Gordo in which the villa is situated, has, in the past, been subjected to some geophysical instability and several houses in the immeadiate vicinity of Calle Romero are suffering varying degrees of damage with some being condemned outright, this also serves to add a rather somber aire to an otherwise beautiful natural area. The roads leading to the property also suffer from subsidence brought about by the geological fault, which could cause damage to vehicles, if not driven with care - Car owners beware!
All in all our stay at the Bahai Vista was disappointing.
