Caserío Guestbook

TESTIMONIALS

“Having been home for several weeks our little boy still asks about going back to see Sarah and Luna the cat! It is an amazing retreat that strikes the balance between being fun for children and having enough for adults. Sarah is fantastic with children and an amazing cook. It didn’t take long before she had our little one helping out in the kitchen and feeding the animals after teatime.

Sarah and Johnny create a sense of community across guests, which works really well. This is especially true with the kids teatime (with alcohol provided for the adults), and communal dinners once the kids are in bed. We were reluctant to leave our little one in the room on his own, but within 2 days of being there, and how safe everything feels, we were happy to leave him in the room, with a provided baby monitor giving us the peace of mind he was ok. This allowed us to get to know others and enjoy dinner, which is fantastic.

If you’re looking for something more intimate than a run of the mill larger hotel that can feel quite chaotic, look no further. Thanks to Sarah and Johnny for making our holiday so fun, relaxing and memorable.”

“In a word, incredible. As you drive up the beautiful windy road to the house you know you are going to enjoy every aspect of staying here.

From the warm welcome to the difficult (never want to leave) goodbye, our stay was outstanding. Sarah has thought of every aspect of a family holiday, so don’t worry if you’ve forgotten anything as she’ll have it.

The grounds are immaculate, the atmosphere chill and the company, whether Sarah’s or fellow guests hits right in the sweet spot of incredibly social but also allowing you your own space.

The food is impeccable and recommendations of day trips & restaurants comprehensive. Even with 2 young kids, this was the most relaxed holiday I’ve had in years. Can’t wait to visit again. Thanks Sarah to you and your team!!!”

“We had high hopes for Caserio Del Mirador (my sister had been and given a great review), but Sarah and her team absolutely exceeded them. They are all so welcoming and accommodating. We stayed in the Casita, which was bliss – the terrace is huge, the view is stunning and everything was so clean and comfortable, you really feel like you are getting away from it all at Caserio Del Mirador.

We had dinner most evenings on the terrace and could not fault anything; it was absolutely delicious, fresh and homemade. The pool is very clean as are the surrounding chill out areas. The animals are a delight for children, collecting eggs each day became part of our morning adventure. Toys are dotted around the grounds, there’s a play park, trampoline and sand pit.

A fresh breakfast of tasty croissants, breads and fruit is brought to your room every day. Nothing is wasted, and children are encouraged to feed the animals leftovers. Caserio Del Mirador is a very special place and we cannot thank Sarah and her team enough for the wonderful holiday we experienced, 5/5.”

Jane, The Casita, July 2022

“What I really enjoy about Caserío del Mirador and something that’s a real aim of a holiday is to wholly forget the stresses/ pressures of day-to-day life. For example I didn’t think about work once, which is quite unusual. And it’s great to never worry about what we should do each day to keep busy.

When I asked Maia what her favourite bit of holiday was her answer was “all of it”. And she referred to Caserío del Mirador as home the whole time we were there. It works for us because Liam can escape for a run in the hills in the morning and I can do Pilates to get some time to ourselves.

Something else I found amusing is that when asked what we should call her baby brother to be Maia replied “Turron” so he was definitely a hit. I didn’t take that many photos as we were so busy getting stuck in.”
