Disappointing
The property is indeed architect designed, the grounds are spacious and the swimming pool pleasant. But the property did not live up to our expectations. The house was in need of redecoration, dirty in parts and crowded and cluttered with the owners belongings, on shelves, in cupboards, drawers and wardrobes. This included owl figures in all shapes and forms - a favourite of the owner. It fellt very strange, as if we had walked into someone else's house. We couldn't understand why the owner had not taken the trouble to clear the house for guests. The cooker was broken and a dangerous d-i-y system had been devised to cover trailing electric wires at the back. The best thing in the house was an american fridge delivering iced water, but it hardly made up for the hot and stuffy feeling inside the house. Outside, there was open access through the patio to the owners' parents connecting property. Their two dogs run in an out into the garden and around the pool. After two days, we had to approach the owner to ask her to keep the dogs in their own property. She was friendly enough and obliging, but it hadn't occured to her that the dogs presence could be intrusive. We were told other guests liked playing with the dogs. We had asked the owner whether she could get hold of an easel and she kindly did, although we didn't find an occasion to use it. Overall, we thought the owner was kind and helpful but the property neglected and vastly overpriced for the quality of the stay.
