Deception
L accueil de Fernando est irréprochable, la maison est propre et bien équipée mais il y a un gros bémol.. La piscine. Même si fera à do nous a expliqué que l année était exceptionnelle car il manque u'e source et il a fait trop chaud, la piscine est verte, pleine d algues, ça glisse tellement il y a des algues. Il y a plein d insectes, des grosses punaise d eau (qui se plaisent dans les eaux stagnantes) et la grenouille qui vient de temps en temps. Nous ne souhaitions pas nous baigner dans une mare. Fernando nous a répondu qu s'il y a de la vie, c est que l eau est saine: non monsieur, il y a des animaux dans les marais, les étangs, etc.. Et pour a tant je. N ai pas envie de m y baigner. Bref grosse déception car je l avais loué pour ma piscine, indispensable pour nous comme chaque été.
