Villa de Mazo accommodation from NZ$196

very nice room

Good little villa in an old style but in good condition, clean and comfortable and well provisioned for crockery and cutlery. Can get a bit chilly at night at this time of year but nice touch with a heater in the bedroom I chose. Good shower cubicle with good supply of hot water. On the down side I had some issues which may have been of my making so have not impacted on my score.Firstly I read and understood this villa was at Tres Pinos where I headed to from the airport. Arriving at Tres Pinos I was surprised to find 2 other rental villas but not mine. Having a name of "TRES" Pinos would expect there were 3 as indeed there were but one was privately owned. So I think the advertised heading is misleading. Having new directions I started out again, by now my mobile battery expired and no internet connection for laptop and also getting dark so stuck with no idea where I was!! Luckily I came across 2 sisters who I now call the "Heavenly Sisters" who not only helped me, but found the villa online and then lead me to it by driving there with me in tow By now dark and 4 hours after I had landed. I will always be indebted to them. On the following day I set out for some provisions and put my passport and currency in the safe. The following day the safe wouldn't open and stayed locked until the day before I left, meaning I spent most days waiting for someone to turn up. Not a fault of the host I add. And add to that I pranged the hire car so not a relaxing holiday!!!

Brilliant. Loved the remote location. Loved the sea views. Villa really good size. Spanish manager very helpful. Loved the scenery. A little gem. Could have stayed there for ever.
