Los Milanos - 09/09
Review Submitted: November 17, 2009
Date of Stay: September 2009
The following review should be read bearing in mind that we were a party of 2 + a dog and therefore the property was not occupied to its maximum, only one bedroom and bathroom were used and the top floor of the property was not used at all.
Description of property - accurate (one proviso which was probably the fault of our interpretation, was that we expected the garden to be completely walled and therefore secure to leave our dog to roam free in our absence, but this is not the case)
Facilities / Equipment / etc - well equipt
Comfort - kitchen / dining area / lounge were compact but comfortable; main bedroom - good size with a comfortable and truly super king size bed; 1st floor bathroom - ample for 2 people to use at the same time; terrace - good size with ample seating, nice views and private.
Access - easy to find, only 10 mins from autoroute
Owner support / help - very good; waiting for us on arrival; good explanation of property; lovely meal provided; quick response to ground floor toilet blockage; even obtained good seats for us for a football match at Racing Santander.
Local amenities - San Vicente offers the majority of what is required (small but good quality supermarket; restaurants; etc) with a larger selection not too far away.
Location - excellent - great views, very private, but not totally isolated.
Things to do / see - endless possibilities - beautiful small towns e.g. Santillana; larger towns and cities worth a visit (Santander, Gijon, Burgos); great walking in the picos and around the coast (this was the main reason we chose the location); surfing - if you have kids or are young enough to enjoy this yourself, it seemed very popular and the sea looked perfect for it.
Recommended - very simple - go down to the beach and walk into San Vicente, have lunch there and walk off the food and wine on the way back.
