Very clean and very tidy, everything you need. Board games included were a great addition. We didn't have children with us but there is a decent outside area with trampoline and some toys in the lounge so would be family friendly. Great outdoor...

Hi! I am Silvana and the one with me in the pic is my husband, Craig. I am originally from Santiago, Chile, and Craig is from New Zealand. We met in Algarrobo, Chile 15 years ago. I am an accountant, and I own my own business; Craig also has his concrete landscapes business, too. After spending years traveling in different countries like Australia, Chile, Argentina, Peru, and other cities. We decided to work in this area. We are living in the new house close to our Cottage; therefore, if you have questions, you need something, or you just want to have a chat and drink a cup of coffee, we are there. We are a family of four, two children, 5 and 12 years old. We love to travel together and do things together as a family. Feel free to get in contact with us, and we will be glad to let you spend a wonderful holiday.
