I wish we could have stayed longer
In the heart of Agaete, this house is typically Spanish in both style and furnishing. The bedrooms are spacious with lots of storage space, the second bedroom however doesn't have any natural light...not that it mattered to us.
As digital nomads, my wife and I stayed for a month and loved it, naturally settling into a routine of working until mid afternoon and then walking down to the salt pools to for a swim. We also had extended family stay with us on two occasions without a problem. The outside space is super, a power point at the garden table kept my laptop powered up during the day and provided a wonderful dining area in the evening. The kitchen has all the essentials including a kettle which is sometimes a rarity, there is a microwave but note that there is no oven.
The undercover garden area houses the washing machine so clothes can be washed in the afternoon and dried overnight.
The restaurants of Puerto de las Nieves are in walking distance (25mins) and while some are a bit touristy, we found a couple that did some good stuff. That said, the 50 minute walk up the road to Casa Romantica to sample the tasting menu is a great way to spend the afternoon.
Lastly, we used the bikes on a number of occasions, they're well maintained, helmets and locks are supplied and there's a tyre pump on hand too.
In summary, if you want tranquility with easy access to supermarket, restaurants, swimming etc. then Casa Carmela is a great place to stay and it lived up to our expectations.
