Pros: What a beautiful bungalow and perfectly situated within a lovely complex.
Everything you need is supplied, linen pristine and all electrical appliances in good condition. The size of the living area being perfect for the two of us being bright and airy. The owner, Mike, could not have been more helpful, answering our questions via e-mail before we got there and in showing us the bungalow upon arrival. Many thanks to him.
A local supermarket is a short walk away for daily supplies and a couple of pub/restaurants not far.
The bungalow overlooks the beach, with steps down at either side. The beach is remarkably clean and quite sandy, (As opposed to some of the beaches in the area being all rocks and pebbles).
Unfortunately, because the area is hilly, there are a number of steps to negotiate in and out. This was no trouble to us, but may prove more difficult to anyone with mobility problems.
The location between San Agustin and Playa del Aquila could not be better for anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing stay. Access is limited to the people staying in the 2 or 3 local residential complexes with very little foot traffic from anyone else. We walked into San Agustin which was not far, but had to climb up the stairs on the side of the cliff to get there. San Agustin was more lively with a choice of shops, hotels and restaurants. In the other direction we were surprised by the activity at the crowded Thompson's Blue Village. A huge holiday complex of hotel and bungalows, which even at the start of November seemed fully occupied, yet had we not walked the mile in that direction, we would not have known it was there.
All in all, I would recommend not only the bungalow we stayed in, but the anywhere in this area. (My wife was quite interested in the 'For Sale' signs and I am sure we could be very happy residing here for a lot longer).
On the negative side, or maybe it's a positive, there was very little English spoken and very few English people around. The majority being German and Scandinavian. This did not cause any problems, in fact it made us feel a bit special with the local people being extremely friendly and helpful towards us.
There are so many places in the world to see that we do not usually return to the same place twice. This, I am sure, will be an exception to that rule.
