Casa Rural Carmen VII

My family of five stayed in one of these houses for a week in the summer and paid almost €1,450. The location and surroundings are fine, but like many houses in northern Spain, they aren't renovated. It's not just that the furniture and kitchen are from the 80s, or that there's no dishwasher (which is acceptable for six people for a week), or no electric juicer (which is also acceptable), or no toaster (which is also acceptable), but the lack of a hairdryer to dry my hair in such high humidity is outrageous. And the bathroom has a 40x40 cm shower tray with a curtain that looks like an MRI machine, besides being unhygienic because the curtain sticks to your skin because it's so narrow. As for the mattresses, you can't last a week because you end up needing a physiotherapist and having to keep changing beds, some mattresses are incredibly hard and others you sink almost to the floor. Yes, the surroundings are very nice and the owner is very friendly, but the price of almost €1,500 per week for 5-6 people is not in line with the services they provide.

We stayed for several days with our dog and we can only say that we were very comfortable; the surroundings are wonderful, very peaceful, the house is great and very well connected for visiting many places. And what can we say about Carmen, the hostess, a hospitable and kind woman. We will definitely return. Thank you for making our stay so wonderful.

Extremely unpleasant from the moment I picked up the phone. "It's fully booked until October," without even asking for dates or giving me a chance to ask for information. When I pointed out that I didn't even know when I wanted to inquire, her response was "Come on!" and she hung up.
