This house, located in a planned vacation community, is in a fine location for those looking to enjoy the pleasures of the Costa Blanca area. It is beautiful and has fine views.
However, there are a number of issues that really detract from the overall experience. The site location is such that the best-view areas are constantly in the sun. We were there at a time when it was not too hot, and even then, it was not comfortable to be out. There is no good shade.
Further, the main living area has very little comfortable lounge seating. The house accommodates 6. It would be very difficult if you had six adults looking to have a relaxed evening conversation inside, at least by the relaxation standards I want for guests.
That brings us to the upstairs bathroom and the lack of privacy. A sink area with two sinks is open to the hallway.n The toilet and shower are closed off by a glazed glass wall and door that are translucent. I have come across this 'form of privacy' occasionally in the past, so obviously, there are people who feel it is a nice architectural touch. I hate it. It was bad enough having to deal with this with my two teenage grandchildren. If I were bringing friends to Europe, as I sometimes do, I would have been terribly embarrassed.
Phillipe and his local person are great communicators who make you feel welcome. But the lack of clarity about this in the listing is a major flaw. I would not have rented this property if I had known that was a major feature.
