The latest visitors to our place, a family from Yorkshire, were well impressed. (They also managed to break a door handle and go home with two of my books, but you can't have everything.) This is their review:
"This property provides excellent value for money. The view from the roof terrace was every bit as good as described. It was spotlessly clean and well cared for, with nice new facilities. There was hot water whenever needed and very efficient showers. We were very well supported before our visit - the owner providing careful instructions for picking up keys and directions from the airport. The house has a good selection of local guides and maps and the housebook of guidance and instructions is excellent. Telephone numbers for help were available though we did not need them. This would be a very good base for a holiday at any time of year."
I hope all these people are going back to Yorkshire, Denmark, Barcelona etc. and telling all their friends, as I can't help thinking word of mouth will get us more business than this blog.

How many points from the Danish jury?
A comment from our latest guests:
Min kone og jeg plus vores 4 måneder gamle søn havde en skøn tid i La Golondrina. Huset har alt hvad man skal bruge og mere til. Udsigten er utrolig smuk og de lokale er særdeles venlige.
Seems they liked it, then.

Our latest visitors, Vicki and Paddy Salmon (from just outside Paris) loved their stay despite cold, wet weather. Paddy wrote "we thought the house terrific - you have great taste and imagination and have done it up so well. We only had one afternoon when we could sit out on the terrace, but what a view!" He sent me this watercolour of the view in question.
The ridge in the mid-ground is the hill on which stand the remains of Juviles' moorish fortress. There's not a lot to see architecturally speaking, but it has great views back over the village and up towards the Sierra, or in the other direction, down into the valley where our local market town of Cadiar stands, about 300 metres lower down.
Paddy and Vicki own a beautiful holiday rental property in Normandy; take a look at it here.

Another positive review from one of our guests below. This gentleman spent two and a half weeks in our place during April and May this year and despite being without power for a few days following a thunderstorm he was delighted with the house and the village. (He was a paying guest who found us through Villarenters, by the way, and so he has no particular motive for being nice!)
"This is a really nice house that is excellently equipped. The standard of the kitchen fittings is really good. The main room upstairs (living room, dinning area and kitchen) has wonderful views from the roof terrace. The house is in a good location in the village to get the best views. Juviles is a very good village to stay in. It is small, quiet and peaceful, but there are a few bars and a shop. It is close to the much larger village of Berchules which has a good collection of shops and eating places. Unlike many of the villages Juviles has many parking places on the main street, just a short distance from the house. This house is very warmly recommended!"
The power problem was caused by a blown trip switch. Fortunately our friends managed to get hold of an electrician and sort it out fairly quickly. We do get frequent power cuts in the Alpujarra and keep a supply of candles and torches around the place accordingly. As we cook with bottled gas and keep warm with a wood-burning fire, it's usually more romantic than irritating, and the power normally comes back on within an hour or so.
