It's a typical Cortijo surrounded by a beautiful garden. The house is well equipped and even has an espresso machine a dishwasher and a washing machine.

The bed is very hard and the pillows and pillow covers are of synthetic material which makes it uncomfortable and hard to sleep on. It would have been nice to have a small ventilator in the bedroom, there is only a big one on the ceiling in the living room.

The property is situated on the edge of beautiful Cabo de Gata Natural Park and the stunning, unspoilt beaches of Los Genoveses and Monzul are just a short drive away. The property has nice garden areas filled with local species of cacti and succulents. The hosts Christof and Gabrielle are exceptionally friendly and welcoming. They don't live on site but have a friend in the village who can assist with any problems. The log-burning stove and plentiful supply of wood was very welcome given that we stayed in December when it is cold at night. The kitchen is well-equipped and there is off-road parking right outside the house. The surrounding hills and tracks were perfect for walking our dogs. Dark skies make for great star-gazing !

The second bedroom was a little bit cold and damp. However we did visit in Winter, so I imagine this would NOT be an issue in the warmer months of the year. The TV is a bit too small given the distance from it's location to the settee. We would have liked an extra towel each for the length of our stay ( 8 days). The vast "ocean" of plastic greenhouses that surround Cabo de Gata Park is an eyesore and an environmental disaster. Unfortunately, some of the plastic can be seen from the property, so you just have to ignore it and head for the unspoilt beaches and great hiking instead !
