Overall this was an excellent property. There was a well appreciated welcome package. We were a 5 generation family. The property was well appointed with accessibility and accommodations for everyone. Our hosts Peter and Janet were always quick to respond with any questions, concerns or a helping hand. The property location made ease of access to any direction of the islands attractions and destinations. The salt water pool is very large and easy to access. The time of year that we travelled made the pool a little on the cool side. We didn’t enjoy it as much as desired due to the cold water temperature. The solar blanket really didn’t do the trick. The property has amazing views. You can see the ocean, Santa Cruz and the rising landscape to the east. To the west is a captivating view of the lush green mountainside. This is a very quiet neighbourhood. The main road LP2, you can hear the occasional vehicle, but other than that it’s all about the islands welcoming sounds of nature. We would definitely return to this property in future travel to La Palma.

Bardzo ładne miejsce. Dom komfortowy i z "duszą". Trochę problemów z basenem, bo w trakcie naszego pobytu osoba odpowiedzialna za jego czyszczenie odeszła. .
