Perfect hide-away to discover Andalusia
This is a very special place. Well, it was for us during our 4 night stay. Set near the top of the narrow streets of Olvera, with a roof terrace (well 2, really) that opens up to amazing views in all directions. Great for both breakfast and afternoon/evening lounging. It is _the_ selling point, in our opinion. Not easy to reach, limited parking space behind the church, but walking up and down the sloped streets was part of the experience I'd say.
The house itself might be a little bit hard to judge on vrbo, but does very well on the inside too. Clean, and with everything in mostly the right place. Sure, the tv-corner/seating area is small and part of the main bedroom, but when visiting as a couple, this is not an issue. Ground floor has the kitchen, a sofa-bed and the dining table (which we did not use).
Beds were great. Aircon present on all floors but not needed for us, at the end of september.
Communication with owner Cristina was very friendly. And could be done in English. Reception in Olvera was done by Ana, also very friendly and nice, but required a bit more switching between Spanish and English. She's working on it :)
Olvera itself is not the biggest town in the region and that shows when it comes to having choices for things like restaurants (only 'bar/restaurants' at walking distance and the ones at 1.5 to 2 km proved to have unfortunate opening hours, for us). The local bar we ate at was just fine though. Groceries and bread easy to find too. Enjoyed it! Thanks!
