Lovely peaceful place but handy for everything you need
We loved our week here. There are only 3 'apartments' in the finca and everything is pretty new. The whole place has been really well done and is beautifully kept. We stayed in C1 which is 1 bedroom and is really close to the pool.
The apartment is a decent size with a well equipped kitchen and a really nice terrace. The pool area is lovely and the surroundings are just what we like. You might get woken up by the cocks crowing but we didn't mind that. Even though it is right next to the road to Mogan it always felt really tranquil.
There is an agricultural cooperative a short walk away which along with a good selection of fruit & veg also sells water, bread, hams, cheeses, wine etc. Basically everything you need. A little bit further away but still easily walkable is El Jardin restaurant which is a really friendly family place. Good simple cooking in pleasant surroundings. There is also a good bus service from here up to Mogan or to Peurto de Mogan where there are lots of restaurants. I definitely recommend heading up to the Valle de Mogan restaurant. You can get the bus almost to the door. We had a car but you really don't need it with the excellent bus service.
There are a few negatives but none of them would stop me staying here again. The ramp or steps down from the gate is pretty steep and might be an issue for someone with mobility issues. The hot water takes an age to come through so you have to put the shower on about 5 minutes before you want to get in. There is no welcome pack, not even a bottle of water, so make sure you stock up before you get there or walk down to the coop to get stuff. Saying that the gardener gave us lots of gorgeous mangos, papaya and lemons straight off the tree so we were really happy with that.
The only other thing was the heated pool got very cold the last few days we were there. We didn't contact Paco about this though and I'm pretty sure he would have sorted it if we had. We were just so chilled we couldn't be bothered complaining :)
