The property is very modern where required, yet still in keeping with the location/surrounding buildings. The pool is very nice indeed, very clean, a real highlight and just like the photos.
The location is down a short farm track (very easily driveable) and is therefore far enough away from the main roads/town to be incredibly peaceful.
While a car is essential, shops and larger towns are only 10 mins drive away so very convenient. We did walk a couple of times up the farm track into town to nice local restaurants. One for lunch which was only a 15 min walk away and one that was a bit further (40-45 mins walk approx) for dinner. We also used taxis a couple of times to go out for a meal at night in Puerto de la Cruz, and that was no problem at all, they are cheap and happy to come right to the door of the property.
All in all, this was an excellent stay away from it all, with very nice hosts, who while available whenever required, were very respectful of your privacy (the cottage/pool is very private indeed)
Thanks very much for a great time.
