Hands down loved this restored Spanish villa. Santiago is so pretty with its architecture and colourful buildings. The owner was incredibly responsive and the manager, Patrick, was on site. The shared kitchen is fully stocked. and the property is stunning, with outdoor places to sit and relax and a pool. Perfect for solo women (I met several) with only eight rooms. Stay on the second floor and enjoy the hammock.
