Property Reviews

The house was beautiful and fully accommodated our large group. The bedrooms are their own private sanctuaries, all with their own bathrooms, TV/Sterio/IPOD players. The common area is enormous and conducive to group eating and gatherings. We particularly loved the outdoor deck and pool area. Some of our group arrived later in the evening, and had a difficult time finding the Villa in the dark. I would suggest more specific directions from ESSV or the owner for those who are arriving on their own. The roads in Pedregal are bumpy and steep with hairpin turns. The Villa is not well marked from the road and difficult to see at night. Those of us who were lucky to arrive by ESSV van, were greated at the Villa by an ESSV representative as well as the caretaker, Fortunado. We were given a formal tour and tried very hard retain all of the electronic instructions, etc. We were relieved that the owner also provides a detailed instruction booklet! We had a few difficulties with the Satelite TV and the fire-pit, which were remedied promptly. The house was very clean and in perfect condition. The floors are all beautiful natural stone. The furniture is very sturdy and beds and sofas were built in. We were pampered by daily cleaning visits from Fortunado and his wife Lulu. The kitchen was fully equipped. We did have to ask for paper towels and napkins, which were promptly provided. The house is designed with 3 main levels requiring considerable stair climbing to the bedrooms and main level. I would imagine this is an issue with many of the homes in Pedregal, since it is built on the side of a mountain! We took advantage of the 2 community tennis courts and our favorite beach for walking was the one right in Pedregal. We recommend a car and made good use of our vehicles to travel into town for food and shopping and to explore other beaches for wonderful snorkeling (Chileno Bay is the best!).

Perfect house for entertaining with the pool, hot tub, pool table, integrated sound system, etc, etc. I highly recommend this house for both a group of couples or single guys/girls. Little bit of a journey (10 minutes up/down a steep cobblestone road) into town but it was always easy to get a taxi promptly.
