Beautiful spot perfectly located between town centre and marina. The property management company were brilliant and helped with every little question and query we had quickly and effectively. Wifi is a little patchy in places but that was our only (minor) grumble.
The villa is located in a great position. It's an old property but is still nice. No air con in main area,only in bedrooms. The outside area at the pool needs a tidy..Some loose cement etc.All in we had a great time,just needs a tidy up.
This property has some stunning outdoor space which caters for everyone. It is in an excellent location close to everywhere with some stunning views where you can sit and watch the boats pass. I have seen reviews that say the property is dated but honestly i wouldnt let this put you off. To me it was more rustic than dated but more importantly it was clean. We had a coulple of minor issues but the communication from the letting agent was spot on. We would definitely book again. Thank you for a great stay.
My wife and I stayed in Villa El Club for ten days. We read all the reviews before, and found the villa to be pretty much as described. Yes, itâs an older building, privately owned, and the presentation reflects these facts but I think that gives it a personal feel, less like a soulless, bland collection of rooms and more like a comfortable home. As someone else has already said in another review, donât let it put you off. You wonât regret it.
The veranda area everyone mentions really is the best place to sit and watch the marina and the locale is very handy for shops and restaurants. It was very clean on our arrival and the kitchen welcome pack was a nice touch. The rooms were comfortable and clean and the bathrooms were perfectly adequate. The staff at Open dâOr were exceptional and all contact was prompt and helpful. Weâd thoroughly recommend this villa.
After about an hours drive from the airport we arrived at El Club about 10pm and it did not disappoint! The villa was as lovely as the pictures on the website. The location was perfect, looking out onto the marina was beautiful. Inside the house, everything was as it should be especially with a brand new kitchen with dishwasher (think we may have been the first to use it). The teenage kids made use of the roof terraces for sunbathing and spent plenty of time in the pool, which was great. It was also great to be less than 5 minutes walk to the nearest beach and only10 minutes to the next! The town with plenty of shops and restaurants and a local Spar is 5-10 minutes walk away, the bigger supermarket was a bit further out (15mins walk) but we managed it even in the heat! Overall, we had a lovely relaxing 5 days and would definitely recommend a stay here.
Great location and property, with some room for improvement with communication.
Overall, I would recommend this place. It's in a great location, amazing pool and patio, lots of space and rooms. There were a few communication issues that I feel should be mentioned and not ignored. First, the Google maps link they give you is wrong. It pinpoints 2 houses away and the street changes names, making normal numerological order useless. They provide plenty of instructions, which are half useless if you give a Google Maps link that's around the bend of the street and not visible. A call to the office around 19:20 was not answered. The parking instructions are wrong. They say park on the white curb, which is not accurate. This was resolved with communication with the rental company the following morning. Lastly, there were 2 men that entered the property to do pool maintenance through a back gate. There was no notice from the rental company, nor did the men ever knock or say a word. In fact, when messaging the company to ask if there was scheduled maintenance, I never received a reply, which was odd since they were fairly responsive otherwise. This was very concerning, especially if this was a more serious situation that required urgency. I feel like these issues are easily resolvable and shouldn't impact further stays but felt they needed to be said.
Mycket trevligt hus. Vi trivdes vÀldigt bra. Satt gÀrna pÄ terrassen och sÄg alla bÄtar som gled förbi. Enda besvikelsen var att solstolarna var mycket smutsiga och marken runt poolen ostÀdad. Poolen var ren och fin.
Einzigartige Lage, aber schon ziemlich in die Jahre gekommen
Das Haus hat eine einzigartige Lage mit einem fantastischen Blick auf den Hafen. Von Vormittag bis zum Abend hat man Sonne auf der schönen Terrasse.
Der Hafen und die zahlreichen Shops und Restaurants sind fusslÀufig erreichbar und ein Eroski-Supermarkt in der NÀhe.
Die Bilder des Inserats mĂŒssen wohl schon deutlich Ă€lter sein, denn es ist in Wirklichkeit schon alles etwas abgeliebt und veraltet.
Auch die Ausstattung lĂ€sst bei dem Preisniveau leider ziemlich viele WĂŒnsche offen. Alte HandtĂŒcher, noch Ă€ltere Liegen- und Stuhlauflagen, nur eine Rolle Toilettenpapier, alte/dreckige WC-BĂŒrsten, keine Kaffeecups, keine SpĂŒltaps, kein Geschirrhandtuch, eine leere Packung Streichhölzer und bereits abgebrannte Kerzen,âŠ
Die Sauberkeit bei unserer Ankunft war mittelmĂ€Ăig, die Böden etwas staubig und die KĂŒchenutensilien, die wir benutzt haben, haben wir vor dem ersten Gebrauchen abgespĂŒlt (mit selbst gekauftem SpĂŒlmittel). Der Garten könnte deutlich gepflegter sein und auch fast verblĂŒhte/vertrocknete Blumentöpfe verschönern das Gesamtbild nicht gerade.
Der Pool wurde wÀhrend unseres Aufenthalts zwei Mal gereinigt, es ist aber Equipment vorhanden, um dies selbst zu tun.
Huis ligt op een mooie locatie. Helaas slecht onderhouden en pover uitgevoerd. Wij constateerden de volgende zaken ( fotoâs beschikbaar):
- dunne boxspringmatrassen met duidelijk voelbare veren. Zonder meer slecht om te slapen.
- slaapkamer beneden inbouwkast stinkt naar schimmel en vocht. Niet te gebruiken. In ladekast lagen nog sokken van vorige bewoners.
- badkamer beneden geen enkele mogelijkheid een handdoek, kleding op te hangen. Geen afleg voor toiletspullen. Moet je op de grond zetten.
- zwembad heeft veel losgelaten mozaiektegels, die vrij in het zwemband liggen. Gevaarlijk voor kinderen.
- ligbedjes vies besmeurd met bomenuitval. Als schoonmaak net geweest is moet dit schoon zijn. Was te zien dat het er al dagen op zat. Zelf schoongeschrobt. .
- trappen rond zwembad verf afgebladderd en stucwerk afgebrokkeld.
- bij aanbouwschuurtje naast zij ingang is dak ingestort. Geen gezicht.
- tafelkleed in serre smerig en nog plakkerig. Zelf schoongemaakt.
- deurslot van serre naar zwembad hangt er half uit en gaat moeilijk dicht, omdat schroeven er half uithangen.
- buitendeur moeilijk te openen, sleept elke keer over de vloertegels.
- magnetron in keuken binnenzijde vies met aangekoekte etensresten. Niet te gebruiken.
- huis is dringend aan een verfbeurt toe. Plafond serre veel scheuren en loshangende verf/ stuclaag. Buitenzijde gehele huis is gebladderd en stuclaag op diverse plekken gebarsten / hangt los of verdwenen. Aan voorzijde naast keukenraam zit een diep gat van ca 2 mtr lang en ca 20 cm breed. Hierin liggen gewoon stroomkabel bloot.
Samenvattend: schoonmaak lijkt minimaal en technisch onderhoud ontbreekt of wordt op de lange baan geschoven. Per saldo teveel geld voor zoân huis. Advies: niet huren of verhuren voordat gebreken zijn verholpen.
We had an amazing 10 days here, hired a car but only used it for airport & supermarket runs.
The villa is lovely with the most amazing views & cala d'or is so pretty.
Everything within walking distance & such choice.
Watching the boats leaving & returning was one of our favourite things to do.
Thanks
What a wonderful week we had at El Club with our friends, the property even though a little tired was full of charm and character and was a pleasure to stay at. An amazing location we spent many hours watching boats go in and out of the marina. Quiet part of town very near to good eating places.
We throughly enjoyed our stay and more so by the help and support of Alexandra and Nathalie at Open Dâor - thank you for your amazing communication and welcome.
Happy memories thank you so much.
A perfect villa for 6 - in a fantastic location. We absolutely loved the Veranda and spend many hours watching the boats go by. The kitchen is modern with most facilities. The pool is a bit tired - has tiles missing and needed intervention by the maintenance team as became green by the end of our stay.
Excellent, the property was in a amazing location so convenient for everything.
Renting the property was extremely easy, everything was done via email. The property itself was in an amazing location right on the waters edge with fabulous views.
Overall the Villa was just lovely, very spacious with everything you needed. Very clean and comfortable beds. The location was just perfect, near to everything you could want. Watching the boats go in and out of the harbour was a daily routine at about 6pm with a glass of vino! The property is a little tired, however this should not effect anyones stay here,
Great views over the marina and easy walking distance to restaurants
Property in require of some maintenance
Window shutters and door locks are rusty and not very easy to secure
Pool area was dirty when we arrived but on contacting the office a gardener was soon on site to clean area
Sun beds have no mats
A lot of the dishes in the kitchen were chipped and needing replaced
All in all we still had a lovely holiday and would return.
Firstly the pros. The property is genuinely on the waterfront at the entrance to the marina, directly opposite the refuelling jetty. The property has plenty of outdoor spaces including a large undercover area where we spent most of our time watching the boats go past. The pool is small but it is only a 10 minute walk to one of the many inlets where there is a nice beach and a bar/restaurant. It is also only 10 minutes either to the town centre or to the marina where there are some good restaurants. La Scala is probably the best of them. The cons. The interior of the property is showing itâs age. The kitchen has been refurbished and a very small shower room added on the ground floor to service the third bedroom, but the rest of the interior could do with an upgrade. In 2021 we shouldnât be fighting with over-long shower curtains over the bath. Also watch out for a bit of a trip hazard as the new floor tiles in the kitchen and shower room have been laid on top of the old tiles so thereâs a definite lip to watch out for. Having said all that, on balance this was an excellent place to stay over October half-term and well-worth an overall 4 stars.
