Just returned after my 50th birthday at Casa romantica the villa had everything you would need home from home new flat screen tv was installed whilst we were there the food parcel was greatly received wine bread cheese butter teabags etc. we walked down to the local pub retirio de guia, as you come into Quinta de Los altos hubby made some new pals. We walked to guia it's ok when suns out but no good walking back at night roads not too good with no pavements. We ended up hiring a car as walking to Guia for bits and pieces was a big of a trek for us went to the big shopping mall most days great shops there just minutes away from the villa where cliffs vineyard is situated just behind the mall. If your fit and able it's fine but we weren't . We got taxis into old town albeufira most nights met up with family that was great found food drink very reasonable compared to Spain very surprised. Loved the villa cleaned 3 times a week twice weekly pool clean we will be back. We left a chair lounger and pump for anyone who comes in after us. Thanks Steve had a great time may be back in September if it's available once we get dates sorted.
