The House of Many RulesWe ended up booking Villa Gatona last minute after the other house we’d rented had an air conditioning issue — right in the middle of a major heat wave in Spain. Overall, the property is lovely, but be aware it comes with a lot of rules. You’ll be greeted with two binders full of them.A few things worth knowing before you book:•Trash: Garbage must be sorted into 4–5 different bins by type and driven to a drop-off location (not walkable), and it must be taken out before checkout.•AC: Air conditioning is metered and only available at certain times of day. During the heat wave, we asked for extra hours and were charged an additional fee — the owner came to collect it in person the next day, unannounced. There’s also no AC in the bathrooms, which get quite hot when it’s warm out.•Kitchen: Could use some updating, and we noticed micro ants throughout — they do bite, so be careful.•Laundry: Two washing machines but no dryer, so we ended up leaving with musty-smelling clothes.•Location: The villa itself is beautiful, but it’s very isolated — you’ll need a car to get anywhere.
