Finca La Isa

Disappointing
Traveller Type:
  : Awesome place in the middle of the mountain. Amazing view over the mountain and its good to start a hike from there. In every house you have your own little terrace and the possibility to make a nice BBQ.
  : We booked a house for two nights for four people. The check-in took really long. Finally we got our key and we brought our stuff to the house. After midnight they knocked at our door and said the they gave us the wrong house. We should chance to another house. For us to late and we decided to move the next day. Half an hour later the electricity went off. Only in our house. The rest of the place was fine. A nice guy tried to fix it. No chance. So no option to charge our phones for the hiking the next day. And our stuff got warm in the fridge. Next day they knocked at ten at our door. We should move. Can understand it because they must clean. But after a long working week we were really looking forward to a relaxed weekend and some sleep. We moved to the new finca. Nobody helped us to move or apologized for the mistake. The new house had one little coffee machine for four people. Only one big cutting knife. The sleeping sofa was making a lot of noise. I can't recommend this place. Mistakes can happen but there was nobody at least trying to fix it. The equipment was bad. Also the jacuzzi was broken during the weekend. Of course nobody told us this in advance.

  : Views are breathtaking
  : We rent one of the private houses called Casa Nublo the house it self is big and well equipped however it needs a good freshen up, walls are dirty beds are not comfortable at all the sofa so harsh so the value of what they charge 100 per night and what you get are not level, check in is a 4PM but the house wasnt clean and ready jet we had to wait half hour to get in. Generally we had a good experience as we made the most of it, the property is hard to drive in but on the bright sight views are awesome, my opinion would be very different if they would charge accordingly, you cant charge 4star hotel price and give such a poor property. Very easy to fix worth to do the things right.

  : Absolutely superb views. A beautiful outside terrace. Loved the wood burner
  : It's a little careworn and kitchen is poorly fitted out. It is really only big enough for 6 adults. Odd that no hot water tap in the kitchen

  : Very authentic "casa rural" in mountains. The house was not modernized and kept the atmosphere of the village house. Howewer it is very comfortable and cosy. Exceptional views from the house, especially sunsets. The house is located approximately on 1300 meters above the sea level. During our stay the location was above the cloud level and I think that it is quite typical situation. And you can see Roque Nubla and Roque Bantayga flying in the sea of clouds. That is very difficult to describe. But even if there no clouds views and sunsets are exceptional. Quite big shared territory, you can walk and see some almond, orange and lemon trees. Also animals are there (chickens, cats, goat). Kids were happy. There are 3 houses and hostel at the location, you will not feel yourself alone in the wild area. And it doesn't bother so much.
  : House heating with portable gas heaters. And no CO/CO2 sensors in the house. This is not acceptable by modern standards. It was a little bit scaring to keep it working for the whole night. And if you switch it off it is quite cold (mountains!). So only one request to the host: please provide electric heaters, it is much safer, keeps fresh air in the house and very convenient. It is possible to use fireplace, but it is little bit old and quite smoky. Very small tank for hot water. It takes minutes to empty it but hours to heat it up again. Not for a big family. The property shares location with hostel and camping, so it can be a little bit crowded and you don't feel youself alone. If you prefer lonely places it can be not the best option.

  : The location is fabulous.
  : The property advertises that in addition to a backpacker's shelter there is a house offering comfortable accommodation for other types of travellers, but it is not comfortable at all. There is heating in the rooms, but it is permanently disabled and doesn't work. With temperature of +4 C, it makes for an exceptionally unpleasant stay. There is a dishwasher but no dishwasher detergent, no soap to wash with, a fireplace that cannot be lit, etc., etc. - everything about the house is like the wall clock in the living room: it looks nice, but it doesn't work.

  : The views were amazing. The food was very good (10 for a three course meal). The cabin was spacious.
  : Sooo cold. Outside around 11 and inside 15. The heaters worked ok, but we shouldn't have them on during the night. And they were not in all the rooms. The fire place didn't work so well.
