Awesome
At first we were a bit disappointed because everything is a bit out-dated and it seems the place need maintenance and updating. No hotwater in this room, loose toilet seat in that room, broken fridge and dishwasher-door in the kitchen, wabbely ping-pong table, etc,,,, BUT - we soon realized this place is AMAZING. Not only is the keyholder Jose a nice guy but he also fixes things very quickly if you think it is needed. From plumbing to electronics, pool and what not!
AND - the place is enclosed in total green and nature. Almost secluded! With incredible views and gigantic pool + jacuzzi, and a very practical outdoor kitchen, seating and appliances. Not to mention the sport-facilities ranging from giant outdoor chess to your own tenniscourt, basketball and beach-volley arena!
The house/castle is visable from miles away and it is big and as it grows on you - just fantastic with lots of charm an coolness. 21 of us was just swallowed and no problem. Everyone recieved towels and bedsheets at arrival. Top quality! No problem with beds and space at all. Down stairs (ground floor) you have entrance and a huge hall with toilet and livingroom to the left (fantastic double bed that can be lowered down from the wall) , big kitchen with all possible amenities to the right. Up on floor there is 3 bedrooms. 1 has 3 bunkbeds with 3 stories - so thats 9 beds with very wide and nice mattrasses. 1 has 2 «normal» bunkbeds - sleeps 4 and last bedroom has 1 bunkbed with single bed over a double - sleaps 3 and has huge balcony/terasse. This floor also have combined toilet and showerroom. Next floor has a very large suite with 2 double beds - at least one of them can be turned into 2 singles, has a shower and toilet and a terasse/balcony. Coninue up one floor and the stairs end up in a bunk bed that could potetially sleep 4.
The area is nice but a bit far in our mind to walk to groceries and local restaurant with exception of Meson Rio Seco only 3 minutes walk witj very good food and service that we used frequently on nights without barbeque. Castel Saba has got amazing bar beque facilities!! And seats 30 people for outdoor dining by the pool!! A few minutes walk away is also the Rio Seco - the actual dried out river - that offers amazing morning walks!!
We can only conclude that we really fell in love with this place and we understand it would be very hard to keep everything updated at all times - and in the end you do not need to because it is just AMAZING
