“Will be back!”
Just want to say what a wonderful villa Casa Monte Clara is, so peaceful with Spanish rustic charm. Spent four days three nights there visiting our friend who is there for three weeks (so jealous!) Everything you needed was there and nothing was too much trouble for Julián and Lisa. Sad to not be able to spend more time there so will just have to come back! Hope to see you again Julian and Lisa Amanda (one of Penny’s crazy friends )

“Beautiful quiet location”
We rented Monte Clara for 6 weeks and I can honestly say it was the best. Everything there for life in the quiet surroundings of Riogordo. If you want to be near the shops then this wouldn't be f… More

Response from the owner Thank you for taking the time to review Casa Monte Clara . We are pleased it suited your requirements. It does what it says on the tin . Tranquil , private , stunning views and not too far to get to Riogordo village to stock up on supplies. We try to be there for guests yet at the same time respect their privacy . The log burner is great for those winter evenings , and we are pleased you managed to catch up on your box sets at the same time . Great you got to get some sun ☀️ towards the end of your winter let , spring is on its way. Thanks again and was lovely to meet you both during your stay . Great pool cleaner too ! Julián and Lisa

“The worst place I’ve ever had the misfortune to stay in.”

Response from the owner We have to date 20 plus 5 star reviews. This guest booked for a three month long term Winter rental. The rate charged was based a 3 month rental only. Utility bills to be paid apart. The guest left without settling any of the utility bills. We do offer a weekly rate, which is utility bills included at a higher rate, but she wanted to secure a continuous 3 month rental period at a lower cost. We have our contact numbers in our info book and a section asking guests to inform us of any issues, that they may have or any damages they find, We had no complaint, until 36 hours prior to their departure, where we recieved an e mail informing us , they were leaving as they had found another property to rent, it was too far to walk to the village, it was cold and not winter sun as she thought, the log burner got too hot when used, we offered to go to the house and address any issues she may have had. But she refused. We contacted the rental portal we use , who advised us, that we should be given due opportunity to discuss and if deemed necessary, address any problems the guests may have. Again she refused. As we were satisfied we had followed the complaints procedure indicated by the host website, we offered third party adjudication to review the issues raised . The guest also refused this. The bed bases are of brick construction, with fixed wooden boards, bed base plus a mattress on top. This was dismantled by the guests and we feel that the guest was just looking for anything she could, to complain about , having made an error in the location of her booking. Our location is very clearly explained and our pin location is detailed on the website.

Response from the owner Thanks for the review. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay. Riogordo is charming, it has believe it or not. 1 hypermarket, 4 supermarkets, 8 butchers, several green grocers, 5 bakers and 15 restaurant, tapas bars. !!! They just appear round every corner. It's best to park up and just wander. The road was a little narrow when you were here, but has been skimmed and widened since, thanks to our lovely Mayor. The ever changing colors thought out the day over the National Park, have to be some of the best amount. Hence the name Monte Clara. CLEAR MOUNTAIN. !!!! Looking forward to your return and thank you for the beautiful painting you left us of the mountain views.
