Holiday cottages in Espinelves

We spent 4 days with the family at the house. The house corresponds to the photos: it is large, spacious and bright, with comfortable beds and a well-kept garden. The football area, swimming pool, billiards and ping-pong is a plus if you go with teenagers. Thanks for the welcome detail and being able to use the barbecue and paddle courts. In Breda there are shops and supermarkets nearby and the area is quiet. But there are certain things to improve. First, not having a key for the door and the entrance gate gives a lot of insecurity, especially at night (as much as it can only be opened with a code, at least a lock would be good). Second, the municipal door-to-door system (without containers on the street) for recycling and selective waste collection in Breda is totally incompatible with a holiday rental of days. The property/Naturaki, in addition to encouraging recycling and reminding to leave the house clean (there is a deposit), must provide a solution for the last day, it is not an option for the tenant to take the accumulated garbage in their car (where?) or distribute it in the park/sidewalk bins. I would also advise having a large trash bin to leave the different already full and closed recycling bags and not have them accumulated in the garden (where the area fills with flies, ants and wasps). Third: the pool is quite large for being private, but from the second day the water was increasingly murky, despite the filtration system and passing the net. Fourth: the rooms were hot at night, fans were missed; in the suite room there is air conditioning but it is already a few years old and is quite noisy. There are mosquito nets on all windows, but there is no air circulation and at 6 light already comes in. And finally, possibly being the end of the season, the upholstery of the living room sofa was quite dirty; covers or quilts to cover the sofa, for hygiene, would have been appreciated. Houses of this type have their own wear and tear that can be understood but these details can compensate for the quality and price that is supposed to be paid for them.

Homeowners’ response: Thank you very much, Mikel, for sharing such a detailed evaluation of your stay. We are pleased to know that you enjoyed the facilities and the welcome detail. We take note of your comments about security, waste management, pool cleaning, room ventilation, and the condition of the sofa. We will review these issues to improve our guests' experience. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your suggestions to help us improve.

Good location for doing some walking routes, excellent treatment with the owners, attentive to any question or comment. Thank you.

The truth is that the experience has been very good, comfort, cleanliness and a good welcome with the assortment of cold cuts. Thank you.

Everything has gone perfectly and the house is a 10! The entry system with a digital counter is much simpler than what you explain on the web. Thank you very much!.

A place to recommend! We loved the benefits that this property offers: comfort, space, equipment, charm, view... In short, everything is there for a wonderful relaxing vacation, in a comfortable setting with a breathtaking view. The owners are very discreet and friendly, they live next to the main house and we crossed paths at the beginning and end of the stay. There are many walks around, but the location of Fontarnau Rural makes it easy to travel easily throughout beautiful Catalonia and to go to Barcelona or the beach. Definitely recommend without hesitation!

The house is exactly as in the photos and the pool is great. It has been a very enjoyable stay to rest and unwind. Jordi and Ana are very friendly and attentive to any questions that may arise.
