Villa Jacqui El Torcal

The real Spain away from the bustle of the Costas. Lovely, peaceful and comfortable villa surrounded by magnificent scenery and such friendly people.

Villa holiday at its best in rural Spain. Lovely villa, lovely area,,,superb!

Unfortunately, the pictures on TripAdvisor don’t reflect the current situation of the house. First of all, this is not a „private“ villa at all. Die to the fact that you have a henhouse in the ground, which is nowhere mentioned in the description and the necessity to clean the pool daily, you get visited minimum once a day by caretaker of the ground which is reall annoying when you want to relax and never now when someone is entering the ground without any notice. This guy was getting extremely unfriendly when we told him that we do not appreciate such unexpected visits. Fortunately, we are fluent in Spanish, so communication was no issue, so no misunderstandings related to this. As he was extremely unfriendly, he started to superxising us (and thought we don’t see him) from the terrace of the nearby restaurant. Horrible when you are on vacation and also felt to be controlled.

The garden is not suitable for dogs as you have everywhere food lying around to feed the chicken and the cats who are living there. The garden is very badly maintained and was in a poor and dirty condition. The pool is not heated! We asked to turn on the heating to the owner, but no reaction. Also the area around the pool looked very untidy including dirty and damaged sunbeds which reflects the situation also inside the house.

The gate of the house is very often blocked by cars of the restaurant guests.

When we arrived we found dirty towels and an extremely dirty kitchen. We had to clean the cutlery, fridge, plates and fridge before we could use them as it was sticky and dirty. So, there seems to be no one who is properly taking care of the house.

The house is absolutely overpriced for what you get. Also the electrical installations are extremely dangerous. I have never seen a cable sich close to a bathtube.

I have to say, that we did not enjoy our stay at all as we expected something different for such a price. Due to the condition of the house, I doubt that this is an officially certified and legal house for rental in Spain

La pareja de españoles que la atienden son serviciales y atentos pero la casa deja mucho que desear. En primer lugar la potencia eléctrica es muy limitada, olvida poner el horno y tener el radiador puesto. La luz se corta constantemente. En segundo, La piscina no es climatizada y el apartamento de arriba está en obras y no se puede usar ( mienten en el anuncio). La parte trasera está descuidada y llena de escombros. En el cuarto de baño el cable de la lavadora pasa peligrosamente por los pies de la bañera.
No te imagines algo aislado, está inserta en un garrapiñado de casas, el entorno no es nada bonito.
Ni la recomiendo ni vuelvo.
