“Fantastic Place managed by local family”
It was a fantastic place to stay. The guest house is run by a super friendly local family who share the same building. The owners are very approachable and ready to help with any questions, yet they also give you space to do your own things. Because it’s shared with a family home, you can see the house is well maintained and very clean. The house feels spacious with large, comfortable areas, so even when it’s full of guests you don’t feel cramped. The kitchen is great, with plenty of space and equipment if you want to cook. The garden deserves praise on its own: it’s beautiful, full of plants that make it feel like a mini botanical garden. I loved the olive trees and the cactus collection, but the pine trees were my favorite because they’re tall and produce a characteristic sound when the wind blows. It’s impressive how much effort the family puts into keeping all those plants alive in a desert-like environment. Besides the plants, the garden is great, with plenty of furniture such as sofas and chairs to relax. At night you can stargaze from the garden. There’s a nice swimming pool in the garden. There’s a parking space, which is secure because there’s a gate. The location is great—you can walk to the village center and find plenty of shops, restaurants, and coffee shops. I loved the location because there are many running and desert trails to explore, making it fantastic for desert walking and running. Even after staying 10 days I still feel I haven’t explored all of them, because there are so many. Carralejo and Cotillo are both within a short drive, each offering amazing beaches and seaside—some good for swimming, some for surfing. Nothing negative.
