6 Weeks in Spain to chill with my Lab's after i lost my wife to cancer
When booking the villa i was quoted a reasonable price for my planned 2 months stay. I then booked trains, hotels and everything else needed for my drive to Spain with my dogs. When the bill was emailed through VAT had been added making quite a difference to the total bill which had never been mentioned or i had been aware of but it was too late by then. I must admit on arrival one of my labs jumped out of the car after a 10 hour drive and did his business in the main bedroom floor in front of the agent which he has never done anywhere or anywhere since which was cleaned up and disinfected straight away, thank heavens for tiled floors I was mortified i can tell you! I needed to buy a gass bottle as there was a thimble full left and also pay for the electricity weekly which worked out at 40 euro's per week. The villa pictures on the site are lovely sadly it doesn't live up to them in reality. The villa is very tired, shabby with a hotch potch of assorted furniture, plates an glasses, the internal wall and very discoloured which for 3000 pounds i didn't expect. There were light fittings hanging by the flex in the porch seating area, light bulbs out in the main living room lights, a huge crack across the floor beneath the table on the porch. The villa is advertised as completely fenced which for my peace of mind is needed for my labradors. Unfortunately there had been a bit of a land slide bringing down a huge boulder allowing access for my dogs to escape and climb a steep vertical wall and the side of the villa. Well this caused me lots of problems with my dogs escaping several time as soon as i turned my back, i was so frustraded. Whilst i was on my own for 5 of the 6 weeks i stayed 5 friends flew over for 5 nights. There were only 4 plates in total and five of us plus one of my friends broke one leaving only 3 so i purchased 6 donating them to the villa. My labradors shed hair llike you've never seen so i hoover at home daily, i asked where the hoover was. So trying to hoover daily while away but it wasn't picking up anything. I spent and hour hacking away at a huge blockage in the tube of the hoover which looked like it had been there for some time. In fairness to the owner and the agent i did not bring any of these issues up to the agent during my stay. I did not believe they could have corrected anything in the villa to make my stay any better other than a thorough clean and and full refurbishment. My wife would not have stayed here!!!!
