"The pictures and description on the web site make Casa Rural Mar Verde look idyllic and in reality it was just as good, and maybe even better than we had hoped for. The outdoor area worked really well providing shade if needed throughout the day, and allowing communal time as well as time on your own. The pool and outdoor dining area work really well.
Inside, the house was very clean and cool during the day. The kitchen is functional with a good selection of crockery and glassware, and all the appliances you need.
The beds were comfortable, and the bathrooms and showers good.
Perhaps the best thing is the wonderful setting - in the middle of olive groves. you are completely secluded and surrounded by amazing birdlife all day and into the evening. The tower provided the perfect place to end the day over a glass of wine.
Lorenza, the host, was really helpful and quick to respond when we had a couple of minor problems with electricity and plumbing. Thank you.
These are only minor issues in the context of a truly wonderful stay:
1. We were only a group of four and understood that we would only have access to two of the bedrooms - but didnt know which ones until we arrived. It would be nice to know in advance, or to be able to choose on arrival.
2. We managed ok but an additional one or two saucepans would have been helpful.
3. The sunbeds around the pool are functional but not the same quality as the other outdoor furniture.
To repeat, these are only minor issues that wouldn't stop us coming back."
