“Exceptional stay with genuine care and attention.”
The cleanliness of the room was outstanding (the best I have ever experienced, anywhere) and it was also cleaned daily to the same really high standard. It had everything we needed and we felt genuinely welcomed and cared for. Nothing was too much trouble and we were literally looked after as if we were in a 5* hotel. The bed was also extremely comfortable and having the mini fridge and tea making facility was a real bonus for us. It was a pleasure to come 'home' at the end of the day and be cocooned in comfort before setting off again in the morning. We would definitely like to return and explore the area further, such a beautiful part of the world. Also, being able to park outside made everything very easy and convenient, especially as my husband couldn't walk too far. Thank you for your genuine care and attention to our needs, it has been a real pleasure and a bonus to have met you.

“Generally very pleasant”
The plumbing could have been quieter - we could hear every toilet flush and shower around us, and also every footstep above.

Narrow entrance to a rather small car parking area. I wouldn't wish to either get in or get out when they are fully booked.

“Great stay at El Jardin”
Lovely friendly welcome. Sara couldn't have been more helpful booking us into a fabulous local seafood restaurant on the first night & suggesting walks and areas to explore on the stunning coastline. The room was beautifully decorated with great attention to detail and spotlessly clean. Excellent breakfast with a huge choice of delicious home-baked pastries and cakes. Thoroughly recommended.
