This is a beautiful property with enormous rooms and very good decoration. The bathrooms are huge and spotless, with nice touches. Best bathroom of our 2 week stay. There is both aircon and a good fan.
The internal area offers a place to sit, as does the large formal dining/lounge room. Nice breakfast included.
Javier and the team looked after us very well, and he speaks very good English, so can help you.
You need to be aware of some street noise, mainly on a Friday/Saturday night. This comes from various bars and from some motorcycles. You won't hear it over the aircon/fan too much.
Also, the power cuts make it difficult for everyone. Check the restuarant/bar has a generator - most do.
The casa is located close to the beautiful square and a craft market, which fills with tourist buses each day and empties around 5.00 pm. But there is also local street life, with some bars that have music and a little port area nearby - at the bottom of the road where the craft market is.
Power cuts were an inconveiniece, but the Palacio has a generator. Nice breakfast.
If you like walking around (without too much hassle) then the Punta Gorda peninsular, just beyond the port, is a great place to walk 2-3 miles out and back. Good sunsets.
One of the best things to do from there is visit the Niche waterfalls. Great experience. Javier can tell you about it, as we offered him and a friend a ride there on our way to Trinidad. Enjoy!
