  A beautiful, spotless place with a very caring host

  Spacious, grand and impeccably clean, a genuine pleasure to be in. At least two small balconies. The host is very attentive: he called and booked a restaurant for us when we were already in Spain, which meant a lot. The kitchen has lovely under-cabinet lighting and local lamps, very cosy in the evening. Hot water from the coffee machine is available straight away.

  Nothing critical, more a set of wishes. What we missed most was a washing machine: on the Camino that is probably the next thing after a bed and a shower. The tap water here has a noticeable taste. We walked the whole of Portugal drinking from the tap, and with the nearest shop about 20 minutes away on foot, a bottle of drinking water in the flat would be very welcome. In the kitchen the cold tap runs in a thin trickle and the hot is close to boiling, and in the shower the temperature drifts too, so you keep adjusting the mixer. There is no air conditioning in the main bedroom, only in the hallway and living room. We were comfortable, but in a heatwave it could be felt. There are no blackout curtains, which is fine for an early start but less so if you like to sleep in. The overall lighting is a little cold. The kitchen cupboard doors slam loudly, which I see mentioned in other reviews and which costs a couple of euros to fix: small silicone or felt bumper pads stuck inside the corners of the door, available in any hardware shop. And if a simple kettle could fit somewhere, it would feel more familiar than boiling water from the coffee machine.

  L'appartement spacieux et très bien équipé, l'emplacement au coeur de la forteresse de Valença et surtout l'accueil chaleureux et attentionné des hôtes. Nous avons passé un séjour exceptionnel !

  Rien, tout était parfait 👍
